Dear MEL Topic Readers,

Former Israeli ambassador: Why we have to prepare for war and peace

Israel is a small country with a population of nine million. It sits on the shores of the Mediterranean Sea end the Red Sea and borders with Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, and the Palestinian territories of the West Bank and Gaza Strip. Sounds very smoky with gunpowder, even in peace times, doesn’t it?

It declared independence in 1947, fought against Arab nations to establish its territories in the following year, and started occupying the West Bank, Golan Heights, and the Gaza Strip after the Six-Day War in 1967.

Despite the size of the land and population, Israel’s economy is highly developed especially in the high-tech industry, and the living standard is the highest in the Middle East. Also, Israelis education, military training participation, research and development spending, life expectancy, and women’s safety are one of the highest in the world.

However, having been surrounded by hostile countries and peoples, national security has the highest priority for Israel. Thus, it has been making a significant effort in intelligence, diplomacy, and military to protect its citizens and territories from enemies. Israel also has been a close ally with the US and therefore, the enemy of Iran. Israel claims that Iran supports terrorists and militants that continuously threaten Israel’s people and territories. It often strikes back any offensive acts and sometimes even preempts potential threats to Israel.

Enjoy reading and learn why and how Israel needs to increase its readiness for war and peace.
