An emergency briefing was recently convened by the Begin-Sadat Center for Strategic Studies (BESA) to analyze the escalating regional crisis and its impact on Israel’s national security. The briefing brought together a panel of experts to provide a strategic assessment of the situation.
Strategic Analysis of the Current Crisis
The BESA experts – Prof. Eitan Shamir, Maj. Gen. (res.) Eliezer Marom, Brig. Gen. (res.) Eran Ortal, Dr. Elai Rettig, and Ran Segev – focused their analysis on five key areas. These included an in-depth examination of Iran’s military posture, evaluating Israel’s potential strategic responses, assessing global and regional dynamics, analyzing prospects for regime change within Iran, and gauging the resilience of the Israeli public.

The briefing also considered the role of the United States and other world powers, as well as regional proxies, in the unfolding events.
