What is the fundamental deficiency in Israel's strategic approach?
Israel suffers from an inherent structural deficiency in its strategy - it has military objectives but lacks a coherent political strategy. According to former Ambassador Alon Pinkas, Israel's military targets are not aligned with or derived from political aims in Gaza, Lebanon, or regarding Iran. This misalignment between military actions and political goals leads to what Pinkas describes as 'Pyrrhic victories.' When military operations aren't guided by clear political objectives, even successful military campaigns fail to achieve lasting strategic benefits. This fundamental disconnect creates a situation where Israel may win battles but struggle to translate those victories into meaningful political outcomes.
