A severe warning for the future: "If we are not ready to risk fighting - we will burn"
Maj. Gen. (res.) Gershon Hacohen argued that Israel must be prepared for war at all times and does not spare criticism of the US political and military concept.
Assessment
A retired major general is warning that Israel must be prepared to take military risks or face severe consequences. His criticism targets the influence of US political and military doctrine on Israeli strategy. The core question is whether Israeli security policy has become too cautious or dependent, leaving it vulnerable to future threats. The debate appears to be about strategic independence and readiness for unilateral action.
