Senior Security Official call for an Israeli regional initiative
We are 250 retired senior officials of the Israel’s security agencies. Together, we represent more than 7,000 years of security experience and service for the State within the ranks of the IDF, Mossad, Shin-Bet and the Israel Police.
We are united in our desire to live in a secure Jewish and democratic state and to provide a worthwhile future for the next generations.
We believe that launching an Israeli regional initiative is essential, possible and urgent. Such an initiative shall allow for more effective handling of security threats, strengthen the cohesiveness of the Israeli society, and create dramatic political, security and socio-economic transformation and solidify Israel’s international standing.
Based on our combined 7,000 years of experience in Israel’s various security agencies we emphatically state that:
There is no basis to the intimidating claims that a political arrangement will undermine security. The opposite is true!
A political arrangement will enhance security. The IDF can provide an effective response to any security challenge, and its strength provides the Government of Israel with the negotiating space required to achieve peace arrangements.
