Separation from the Palestinians
An Israeli initiative for separation while continuing security control until a permanent agreement
Commanders for Israel's Security
"Commanders for Israel's Security" (CIS) is a non-partisan movement comprising over three-hundred retired IDF generals and their Shin Bet, Mossad, and Israel Police equivalents. CIS is dedicated to the promotion of Israeli separation from the Palestinians into two states, as part of a regional initiative. CIS is convinced that security-political arrangements with relevant Arab parties, and the concurrent pursuit of a ‘two states for two peoples’ agreement with the Palestinians, is essential for Israel's long term security and Jewish-democratic character.
