Israel's Grand Strategy


(Hoover Institution) Brig.-Gen. (ret.) Assaf Orion - Israel's grand strategy seeks to safeguard its national survival and character and to live in peace with its neighbors. A small nation in a hostile region, it has had to perpetually frustrate enemies' attempts to destroy it, until they chose to make peace or at least accept its existence. This has been achieved by an outsize and advanced defense enterprise supported by a strong science and technology-based economy, which in turn is enabled by well-educated manpower. Israel's own capabilities are augmented by its relations with world powers, mostly the U.S., economic diversification, regional partnerships, and soft power, enjoying support from Judeo-Christian communities. The writer is a senior research fellow at Israel's Institute for National Security Studies.
