The Sunni Axis: A New Ring of Fire Around Israel?

31/08/2026 אין תגובות

A developing alignment among Turkey, Pakistan, and Saudi Arabia is not a military coalition directed against Israel. But its combination of military power, nuclear capability, financial resources, religious influence, and competition over regional trade routes could evolve into a framework constraining Israel

Jordan’s Fragile Stability and Israel’s Eastern Front

19/08/2026 אין תגובות

Economic strain, domestic political pressures, and Iranian penetration are increasing the risks along Israel’s longest border. Israel must prepare for potential instability by strengthening its defenses, intelligence capabilities, and operational readiness along the eastern frontier

The Future Battlefield Is Here

10/08/2026 אין תגובות

The future battlefield will be defined by inexpensive systems deployed at scale, multidomain swarms, artificial intelligence that analyzes information and supports or makes decisions, and a widening gap between technological capability and the capacity of law and ethics to regulate technology. By combining mass, tempo, redundancy, autonomy, and networking, a swarm can generate effects that depend not on any individual platform but on the collective behavior of the system. In an era when machines can see, calculate, and strike faster than humans, stronger human control is required—not as a legal ornament, but as an operational and ethical restraint.

Victory or Equality? Women in the IDF Maneuvering Forces

05/08/2026 אין תגובות

Victory must remain the measure of every IDF policy. Women’s service should be expanded where it strengthens operational effectiveness, but unrestricted integration into the maneuvering forces risks higher injury and attrition, weaker unit cohesion, and reduced Religious Zionist recruitment.

Israel’s Path to Armaments Independence

27/07/2026 אין תגובות

Israel has always sought to defend itself by itself, yet it remains dependent on foreign arms and military support. The War of Redemption exposed the operational and strategic costs of that dependence and the need to reduce it

Absolute Victory: 1,000 Days of the War of Redemption

17/07/2026 אין תגובות

“Absolute victory” as a concept is military defeat of Israel’s enemies followed by a broader strategic victory that improves its security and diplomatic standing for years to come. After more than 1,000 days of war, Israel is far stronger than it was on October 7, 2023. It holds the upper hand in every theater. Iran’s “ring of fire,” built to encircle Israel and erase it from the map, has largely been dismantled. These are not marginal gains, but historic achievements that are reshaping the Middle East

The Battle for Israel

01/07/2026 אין תגובות

Israel’s experience points to a clear strategic lesson: the country pays dearly when it neglects defense of its internal arena. When it built a strong territorial defense, communities themselves became defensive zones that could hold out and allow the IDF to pursue offensive missions. The response to today’s threats should integrate armed community response units with territorial defense forces as a first layer of defense, backed by a National Guard and a sustained crackdown on serious crime in the Arab sector

Discipline Is Neither Divisible nor Optional

01/06/2026 אין תגובות

The War of Redemption has shown the cost of indiscipline in modern combat. In an era of drones, dense urban warfare, and precision threats, discipline is not parade-ground formalism but a condition for battlefield survival and victory

Turkey: From Partnership to Imperialist Threat

21/05/2026 אין תגובות

Turkey’s imperial ambitions could turn it into a new Iran: a power capable of placing Israel in a commercial and military stranglehold. Israel must address the Turkish threat not as a small state, but as a regional power prepared to exercise force, judgment, and long-term strategic vision. Turkey’s neo-Ottomanism is a challenge, but if handled correctly, it could also become a catalyst for strengthening Israel’s power in the twenty-first century

Why Israel Needs the Litani Line

11/05/2026 אין תגובות

The current direct anti-tank fire line leaves Israel exposed to short-range fire and drones from southern Lebanon. The Litani line offers a stronger alternative: a natural barrier, a shorter line of contact, greater depth, and improved protection for northern communities, along with political leverage in future negotiations with Lebanon
