The use of AI in IDF systems is accompanied by very careful operating methodologies and it is very important to maintain this approach.
United States President Joe Biden’s national security advisor, Jake Sullivan, visited Israel and Saudi Arabia in mid-May, offering a Saudi-Israeli normalization package that he says would lead to greater...
The death of Raisi and Amir-Abdollahian will undoubtedly cause great turmoil in Iran.
It is crucial that Israel clearly and loudly communicates to Sullivan the drawbacks of the proposed normalization and the defense pact and does not rush into signing.
When Israel finishes dealing with Hamas, the interests of Israel and those of Hezbollah and Iran will likely align, for a short time, to postpone the wider fighting in the north.
Normalization with Saudi Arabia is crucial but shouldn't come at the cost of significant concessions.

Nuclear enrichment on Saudi soil, and an American-Israeli "defense treaty," as part of normalization with the Saudis, are incompatible with Israeli's National Security Strategy (NSS), especially when the agreements are likely to come at the expense of preventing Iran from dashing toward the bomb.
