JINSA Visiting Fellow Gabriel Scheinmann explores the possibility of making Iron Dome into a jointly owned and managed U.S.-Israeli defense system. Doing so would be a bold and mutually beneficial symbol of the closeness and importance of the U.S.-Israel strategic alliance.

JINSA Fellow Evelyn Gordon on why Israel's limited capabilities and the need to avoid starting a war will necessitate a smaller-scale operation than the U.S. blueprint of multiple airstrikes over many days.

Evelyn Gordon immigrated to Israel in 1987, immediately after obtaining her degree in electrical engineering from Princeton University, and has worked as a journalist and commentator in Israel since 1990. She was a reporter for the Jerusalem Post, primarily covering the Supreme Court and the Knesset, and has been a regular columnist for that paper for over a decade. She currently works for the English edition of Haaretz, blogs regularly for Commentary magazine's "Contentions" site and contributes occasional articles to the magazine, and serves as a contributing editor of the Israeli quarterly Azure.

General Dan Haloutz, former Chief of Staff of the Israel Defense Forces, recently completed a series of lectures to cadets and midshipmen at three of America’s military academies. The lectures are a component of JINSA’s U.S. Military Academies Program which also includes a three-week Study Trip to Israel.
