Summary:
Israel’s security doctrine emphasizes prompt and decisive action to protect its citizens due to ongoing existential threats from hostile actors and terrorist groups. The country prioritizes independent judgment, operational freedom, and the ability to defend itself without relying solely on international consensus or alliances.
