Israel
Index
The need for a strong military posture in the face of the
perceived Arab threats to Israel's survival has been endorsed with
near unanimity by Israeli policy makers and citizens. Nevertheless,
the question of which strategies best ensure national defense has
often caused acrimonious national, as well as international,
controversy. Events subsequent to Ben-Gurion's initial concepts of
national security laid down when Israel was founded in 1948,
particularly Israel's occupation of Arab territories since the June
1967 War, have modified the foundations for Israel's concepts of
national security.
