Lecture 8: yitzhak rabbin worried henry kissinger was pushing israel into peace negotiations with syria, etc. that were harmful for israel"s security & would be hard to sell to the people of israel. Israel has series of networks between the groups, politicians may be military, etc. it"s all intertwined. Securitization is taking an issue and raising it to the level of existential challenge (all you can talk/think about) Securitization is a rhetorical move made by leaders at times: olesker argues that the civil-military network has been organized by securitization around jewish identity. Israel-and this was probably the results of recent israeli-us-russian consultation- to ensure israel"s acceptance of the assad regime. Israel doesn"t want iran to become more powerful in syria, for hesbalah to be more powerful: the israeli army"s ombudsman, major gereral (res. ) Yitzhak brick, has written a new report harshly criticizing the army"s readiness for war.
