How to Deal with Severe Crime in Israel’s Arab Sector

Israel’s battle against severe crime in the Arab sector is a systemic failure that threatens the pillars of the state: the rule of law, national security, and public trust. The national task force created to manage this effort is, in principle, an excellent instrument, but in recent years it has been badly mismanaged. The Attorney General, who heads the force, must recognize that she is effectively leading Israel’s war cabinet against serious crime—a responsibility she cannot sidestep. She must work with the government to enable a coordinated and effective campaign against this escalating threat.

At the same time, weapons smuggling across the border, carried out with the help of Bedouin networks in the western Negev, has intensified. Israel must respond on two fronts: diplomatically, by pressing Cairo to correct its violations, and militarily, by expanding intelligence collection and analysis and preparing operationally for the challenges Egypt presents, in order to prevent a strategic surprise

Gaza: Until When?

Exactly two years on from October 7, and in the wake of the ceasefire, we look back at the course of the fighting —at the decisions that shaped the war, the reasons it dragged on, and the steps still needed to achieve Israel’s declared objectives. If managed prudently, the Trump framework now on the table could provide Israel with a real opportunity to advance those goals.

Siege as a Legitimate Method of Warfare

When consistent with international law, siege is a lawful tool of war, crucial for victory and safeguarding lives. Israel must balance legal and operational demands, with final responsibility resting on commanders in the field.
