Israel Defense and Security Forum

IFSD

“We are in constant contact with a range of influential people and organizations who are responsible for determining Israeli policy. Whether government or Knesset members, senior members of the security forces or international organizations like the UN, we are here to provide them with our approach to national security.”

OUR CORE PRINCIPLES

1. Israel’s security needs are the top national priority. Period.
2. The State of Israel has the right and the obligation to exist within safe, defensible borders, the borders of the Land of Israel.
3. In order to ensure its existence, the State of Israel must guarantee victory in every conflict and is therefore obligated to act freely on all fronts, in order to defend itself, by itself.
4. It is vital to seek meaningful, regional peace and cooperation with the countries surrounding us, based exclusively on the principle of “Peace for Peace”. Land concessions do not foster peace.
5. The undisputed obstacle to achieving these aspirations lies in the Palestinian narrative which negates the existence of the Jewish people and their tie to the Land of Israel, and demands the termination of Zionism.
6. The State of Israel must begin to exercise its sovereignty over Judea, Samaria and the Jordan Valley, which are crucial to its security.
7. The settlement of Israeli families throughout all geographic regions of the country remains a key component in national security, permitting our security forces to carry out their missions.
8. The development of the Negev, Galilee, Golan, Judea, Samaria and Jordan Valley must be encouraged, given that they form a crucial piece of the security puzzle.
9. National service is a valuable tool for shaping Israeli society.
10. IDSF is not political. The movement is open to all those who believe in its foundational principles.
