Official defensive policy as recipe for war
Former OC Central Command and ex-defense ministry Dir.-Gen Ret. Gen. Shraga Biran said Friday, April 11, that Israels security problems will not be solved through defensive operations. In an unusually outspoken diatribe against current government policy by an apolitical military strategist, Biran warned that this defensive posture would lead inexorably to war, while strengthening Israels antagonists, Syria, Hizballah and Hamas.
He faulted the West as a whole for closing its eyes to Irans rising strength and nuclear aspirations.
