ELNET-US President David Siegel reflects on the evolution of the U.S.-Europe-Israel relationship in the context of major global events, including 9/11, Russia’s invasion of Ukraine, and the October 7 Hamas attacks on Israel. Following recent developments, Europe is emerging as a pivotal player in countering threats to global stability.
ELNET’s Forum of Strategic Dialogue held the 2nd CEE-Israel Dialogue in Riga
ELNET hosted a delegation of international military experts to provide a comprehensive first-hand understanding of Israel’s security landscape. Following the delegates’ visit to Gaza, General Sir John McColl, former deputy NATO commander, reflects on the IDF’s conduct in adherence to the rules of engagement.
ELNET-UK Director Joan Ryan writes about the unintended consequences of the UK government’s recent decision to halt arms sales to Israel. While this move aims to address humanitarian concerns, it not only risks straining the British-Israeli defense and intelligence partnership, but could also embolden adversaries like Iran and send mixed signals about Britain’s stance on Israel’s adherence to international law.
In an unprecedented initiative, ELNET brought a high-level delegation of international military experts to Israel to provide first-hand insights into the country’s security situation following October 7. The delegation engaged with senior Israeli officials, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, and visited key conflict areas, including Gaza, for the first time since the war began.
Despite the heavy costs of Israel’s war against Hamas in Gaza and the decline of tourism, Israel’s economy has shown resilience, growing by 2.5% in the first half of the year. As the war nears an end, Israel anticipates an economic boom, driven by the return of reservists, refugees and a surge in immigration.
