Is India’s balancing act being tested by the Iran war?
Before the Israel-US-Iran war, India was walking a diplomatic tightrope. Now, that balance is being put to the test.

Excited to share my new op-ed in @Jerusalem_Post

For years, Israel treated the Indo-Pacific as a distant arena, important but secondary to the immediate realities of Gaza, Lebanon, Syria, and Iran.
That mindset no longer works.

Remarkable insight into Israel’s war strategy in Gaza, by the @BESA_Center’s retired general Eran Ortal. Read full article here: via.dj/45uQeMA
‘The analogy of the Second World War indicates what is required here. De-radicalization of Germany and Japan was possible not only thanks to their unconditional surrender but also to civil-economic measures taken.
‘In an attempt to correct the mistake of three decades of appeasement and deterrence strategy, Israel is now making the opposite mistake. We set a clear political war goal—eliminating Hamas rule—but continue to refuse to carry out any non-military war planning.
‘In principle, wars for regime change are not the correct approach for the State of Israel. But in a practical sense, we have committed ourselves to that aim by allowing the buildup of terrorist armies on our borders. This war should be considered a painful but one-time weaning process.’

We wish to thank the Rondeli Foundation for the interesting conference, for inviting two Israeli experts, Prof. Eitan Shamir and Dr. Elai Rettig of the Begin-Sadat Center for Strategic Studies / Bar-Ilan University, and including them in a session devoted to the ongoing war in Gaza.
We appreciate strong condemnation of Oct 7th terror attack at the #RondeliSecurityConference opening.

Israel Cannot Continue to Exist if Hamas Does
"In the Middle East, there is no place for the weak. Israel has attempted to reach agreements with Hamas, all of which disintegrated because they made Israel appear weak."
