| dc.description.abstract | The article “Israeli Military Strategies” consists of four subsections which cover the whole
subject. The first one, “Israeli Defence Forces” describes in detail the structure and division
of Israeli troops specifying their combat equipment as well as the number of soldiers per
contingent.
The second subsection, “Threats to Israel’s Security”, includes a brief description of defence
strategies. There is a list of countries which are the biggest threat to Israel due to conflicts
of interests, unexplained disputes, as well as territorial, religious and ethnic antagonisms.
The third subsection – “Strengthening Israeli Army – Tefen Procurement Plan”, describes
the program which is, according to the author of the article, the most important program
currently being implemented in the Israeli army. It aims to modernize the army and it focuses
on international military cooperation.
The last subsection “Special American-Israeli Relationships” presents the history of international
relationships, starting from the establishment of the State of Israel up to the present
day. Keeping friendly relationships with the USA is a matter of overriding importance for
each Israeli government, since it is associated with the cooperation at various dimensions, i.e.
trade, economic and military one. | en |
