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

Where Is Gaza Headed?

03/05/2026 אין תגובות

Hamas is under pressure and its regional support has weakened, but it is unlikely to disarm willingly. Political timetables in Israel and the United States require prompt action through a systematic campaign that steadily reduces Hamas’s area of control until it submits. If Israel acts with determination, it can complete the war’s objectives and ensure that Gaza is no longer a threat

The Decline of Europe

21/04/2026 אין תגובות

Europe’s post–Cold War model is under strain as “addiction to peace,” demographic decline, economic stagnation, and strategic dependence on the US collide. The continent now stands at a historic crossroads: undertake painful reforms or continue its descent into a “grand museum”—rich in history but poor in power and increasingly irrelevant

The Waning of the Iranian Crescent

13/04/2026 אין תגובות

The Iran war has demonstrated that power is not measured solely by missile inventories, but by the ability to integrate intelligence, operational effectiveness, technological superiority, and economic pressure into a unified strategy
