Israel Defence Policy

September 20, 2023, New York, NY, United States: U.S President Joe Biden, right, holds a bilateral meeting with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the United Nations Headquarters, September 20, 2023, in New York City, New York.

A defense treaty with the United States is more harmful than beneficial

While a formal defense treaty between Israel and the US has several advantages, it will always be subordinate to America’s strategic interests, reducing Israel’s freedom of action. The principle established from Israel’s inception that “Israel will defend itself by itself” must be retained.

Palestinian muslims pray at al-Aqsa mosque in Jerusalem

Are fears of the last 10 days of Ramadan justified?

Security fears of the last 10 days of Ramadan are hardly justified. Ramadan has hardly been the most violent month in the past, and the last 10 days are not necessarily the most violent of the month. Conceding to this fear out of tactical considerations of an overburdened Israeli police does not justify the strategic costs that impinge on Israeli sovereignty over the Temple Mount and its capital.
