YouTube Description
as posted by the channelElizabeth Tsurkov returns to the Conflicted podcast for a deep dive into the state of Israel following the events of October 7th.
In this episode, Elizabeth traces her own political journey from the Israeli right to a hard-won humanism, and unpacks the collapse of Israel’s old security doctrine.
We examine why the shift from deterrence to pre-emption may lead to permanent war rather than long-term safety, and discuss the geopolitical consequences of Israel's new strategy.
In this episode, we cover:
- Introduction: The Shift in Israel’s Security Doctrine
- Deterrence vs. Pre-emption: Why the Old Model Failed
- The Limits of Military Victory in Gaza
- Hezbollah, Lebanon, and the Buffer-Zone Strategy
- Iran’s Missile Threat and the War with Tehran
- The Abraham Accords, IMEC, and Bypassing Palestine
- Are Israeli Fears Producing the Wrong Answers?
