Netanyahu unveils new Israeli national security doctrine

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has introduced an updated national security doctrine, signaling a strategic shift from containment to preemptive military action. Developed with the National Security Council, the new policy prioritizes neutralizing emerging threats through offensive operations, expanding buffer zones, and pursuing new regional partnerships.

The doctrine emphasizes military self-reliance, technological superiority in fields such as AI, quantum, and space technology, and the development of domestic munitions production. Netanyahu also presented a geopolitical map illustrating shifting regional alignments, depicting a 'Sunni Diamond' alliance and identifying Somaliland as a friendly territory. The map also suggests a decline in Iranian influence and the weakening of its regional proxy networks.

In related remarks, Netanyahu expressed a desire to avoid direct military conflict with Turkey while maintaining readiness for all scenarios. He also criticized the French government’s handling of domestic extremism and noted that the majority of the work required to defeat Iranian threats has already been completed. The announcement comes nine days before Israel’s parliamentary elections.
