We here in the Middle East believe - indeed we know - that our region is the center of the Universe. But for the world’s leading power, it is an important theater, yet not its top priority. The policy of United States is based on the idea that the overriding factor in global relations for the next generation-or-so is the “strategic competition” it has with China, as well as Russia carving a niche of its own but more in line with Beijing. American strategy in the Levant and the Persian Gulf now l...

Israel’s northern neighbor Lebanon is powerless in more than one sense. While foreign Iranian influence and deep economic distress rooted in political corruption threatens the once termed ‘Switzerland of the Middle East’ with plausible disintegration – such a reality would inevitably pose a grave security risk for Israel.

The outgoing Director of Military Intelligence for the Israel Defense Forces, Major General Tamir Hayman, reiterated last week an assessment he made public at the turn of the year. Gen. Hayman, who under the Israeli system is charged with over-all national assessment and not only the military one, insisted that Iran remains at least two years away from acquiring nuclear weapons and is yet to decide on such action. It is careful to make progress on certain routes, notably research and development...

Strategic interests and personal relationships are mixed in international strategy and diplomacy. After almost four months in power, the Israeli government seems to enjoy from both in its dealings with the major Arab countries bordering it. Egypt and Jordan warmed up to Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, Defense Minister Benny Gantz and Foreign Minister Yair Lapid, who are seemingly on the same page regarding Israel’s security needs. It is important to stress that while outstanding disputes pertain...

Late French Prime Minister Robert Schuman proclaimed that “Europe needs a soul, an ideal, and the political will to serve this ideal.” Years after these words were asserted, however, Europe remains deeply divided - challenged by those who seek to assert neo-liberal ideals as the only way forward versus those aspiring to preserve the continent’s historic Christian-conservative values. Alongside intra-European disputes – global challenges are seemingly accumulating – from Great Power Competition t...

With speeches by the Presidents of both the U.S. and Iran at the UN General Assembly behind them, Washington and Tehran are deploying their diplomats to prepare for the next and perhaps most fruitful round of their indirect talks in Vienna. Rousing rhetoric aside, Ebrahim Raisi and his Foreign Minister sounded as if their Supreme Leader directed them to resume the negotiations, though not necessarily to make meaningful concessions in them. For his part, Joe Biden kept a conciliatory tone, while ...

In almost 19 years in power, top of the political longevity table with Vladimir Putin, Bashar Al Assad and King Abdullah of Jordan, Recep Tayyip Erdogan has made himself an important player on the regional and even global political scenes. Erdogan’s Turkey is certainly not taken for granted. In the Mediterranean, in Syria, in Central Asia conflicts, in Europe’s migration headache, even in the evacuation from Kabul, Turkey’s role was notable, though not always received with critical acclaim. But ...

Officially, there are only five great powers in the post-World War Two world - the five permanent members of the United Nations Security Council, who are also declared nuclear weapon states. But in reality, there are other powers with a legitimate claim or aspirations to greatness, at least by some measures, such as Germany, Japan and India. There are no longer blocks headed by two Superpowers. Rather, there is a mix of confrontation, cooperation and mostly competition, as evident by the bittern...

Israel’s southern half - the Negev - is a triangle bordering Egypt and Jordan and reaching down to the Red Sea. The 1948 War actually ended only the next year, when Israeli forces reached what is now the port city of Eilat. Four additional wars were fought at least partly over Sinai and the Straits of Tiran, the Red Sea’s choke point. In the 40 years of peace between Israel and Egypt - and almost 30 of Jordan’s peace with Israel - this area seemed to lose its claim to priority in Israel’s securi...

Please join host Amir Oren for an interview with Minister for Jewish Diaspora Affairs Nachman Shai, who is likely Israel’s foremost authority on military-media relations. If this issue has four or five angles to it, Shai has seen it from six. Prior to entering politics, then-Brigadier General Shai was a member of the General Staff when he was appointed IDF Spokesperson, best known for calming a concerned nation during a barrage of Iraqi missile fire on Israel in the 1991 First Gulf War. Shai has...

For some 35 years a soldier, in the next 25 years or so moving in and out of politics, Barak has served in virtually every senior position, up to Prime Minister. He has led the most elite of units, Sayeret Matkal, on both clandestine intelligence missions and lethal commando raids. Rushing home from abroad t...

When a nation fears that its enemy is developing the ultimate weapon and may threaten to use it, a military strike intended to destroy this project is not unthinkable. Indeed, Iran set this precedent roughly 41 years ago, when it unsuccessfully sent its Air Force to bomb the Iraqi nuclear reactor. A few months later, Israel did it, with a totally different result, and in 2007 repeated this operation against the North Korean reactor secretly built in Syria. It is logical to assume that if Iran pe...

In twenty years as Russia’s leader, Vladimir Putin established his reputation as a major figure on the global scene and brought his country back from its dismal appearance during Boris Yeltsin’s reign. An important part of his agenda had to do with a pro-active foreign policy backed by military force, from Georgia to the Ukraine and onward to Syria. But next week Putin’s political party, United Russia, will be tested in elections - and according to public opinion polls is expected to get a small...

Every so often there are reports of aerial strikes in Syria, for which the Damascus regime attributes responsibility to Jerusalem. Less frequently, purported Israeli action involves surface-to-surface missiles rather than aircraft, because the targets are presumably closer to the Golan Heights’ armistice line. Whichever tool is utilized; the reality is clear. Iran, without whose help Syrian President Bashar Al Assad could not survive a decade of domestic conflict, is being compensated by exploit...

Admiral Charles Richard, who heads the United States Strategic Command, sounded a relatively new alarm the other week. He warned that the entire structure of global stability, which rests on nuclear deterrence between the U.S. and Russia, could be undermined by the emergence of China as America’s peer. Of course, the view from Beijing is quite different - an economic powerhouse wishing to fulfil its potential by moving West, through its Road and Belt Initiative. Without judging which of these pe...
