About CIS

Commanders for Israel Security (CIS) is a movement of retired senior officials in Israel's defense establishment and Foreign Service. Our members are committed to securing Israel’s future as the strong democratic home of the Jewish people via separation from the Palestinians leading to an eventual two-state solution.

CIS is convinced that the continued slide toward a one-state reality jeopardizes that vision and perpetuates the conflict. We therefore seek to reverse that trend by an Israeli policy that preserves and improves conditions for an eventual two-state solution. We seek to affect that change via a security-based initiative for a gradual civilian separation from the Palestinians while maintaining security control until a two-state agreement ushers in robust security arrangements.

In addition to its unmatched security credentials, CIS prides itself of another important characteristic: our members are all volunteers who seek no reward except in the knowledge that they place their experience and expertise at the service of securing our country’s future for the coming generations.
