In 2006, we, at Reut, like many Israelis, were frustrated with the 2nd Lebanon War. The conclusion of our analysis at the time was that the war exposed a crisis in IL’s national security strategy that had been incubating for a while before (check out our reports to Winograd).
Consequently, three years later, one of our teams, led by Eran Shayshon, is now dedicated to the challenge of Israel’s fundamental de-legitimacy. In the past few months they had two study-visits to London in order to understand the dynamics that led to a major setback to IL’s standing there.
The team has now concluded the analytical phase of its work and is beginning to write its report, which will serve as a platform for its 2010 work.
This week their thinking and work was shared in the London Jewish Chronicle (click here) and in Newsweek (click here).
