Israel asserts strength and vision while surrounding Arab systems stagnate under instability, extremism, and failed leadership.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met today with trainees of Israel’s National Defense College, including IDF brigadier generals and senior officials from the security services, for a strategic briefing on Israel’s evolving role in the region.
During the session, Netanyahu reviewed key decisions taken throughout what he described as the War of Redemption, decisions he said fundamentally altered the strategic balance of the Middle East. He outlined how decisive Israeli action, combined with technological superiority and operational independence, has reshaped regional realities.
“We are turning Israel into a regional power, and in some aspects, a global power,” Netanyahu told the participants. He stressed that Israel’s future security depends on maintaining overwhelming defensive strength, independent production and supply capabilities, and continuously deepening Israel’s qualitative military and technological edge.
Netanyahu contrasted Israel’s forward-looking strategy with the chronic instability, internal decay, and terror-tolerance characterizing many Arab systems around it, emphasizing that only strength, clarity, and self-reliance ensure survival in the Middle East.
The Prime Minister concluded by answering questions from the officers, underscoring that Israel’s security doctrine will remain proactive, uncompromising, and anchored in national resilience rather than regional illusions.
