Israel Defense Market Drivers

Qualitative Military Edge (QME), Border dispute with Palestine, Conflict with Iran, and Threats from terrorist groups, are some of the significant Israel defense market drivers. Israel faces a myriad of security risks from hostile neighbors and a multitude of active terrorist networks along its frontiers. The country maintains a relatively small standing military force, which is attributed to its relatively small population base. As a result, Israel’s survival is dependent on its ability to maintain a significant degree of QME over its adversaries.

Furthermore, Israel and Iran have shared a mutually hostile relationship for over three decades. The ties have deteriorated considerably in the last few years, with both countries becoming involved in a series of conflicts and covert operations against each other. Having severed all diplomatic and commercial ties with Israel, the Islamic government of Iran refuses to acknowledge the legitimacy of Israel as a country.

Israel Military Doctrines and Defense Strategies

Israeli defense doctrine is the mission of the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) to safeguard territorial integrity, defend the existence and sovereignty of Israel and defend Israeli citizens, and fight against all forms of terrorism which may pose a threat to routine life.

The Israeli defense doctrine calls for the Israeli defense forces to be capable of maintaining extended periods of peace, and to enable the development of science, society, and the economy in addition to enhancing the military’s preparedness to face war or any emergency for which its services could be called upon.
