BICOM Expert View: Jihad on the Horizon: The ISIL Threat from an Israeli Perspective, by Brig. Gen. (res.) Michael Herzog

[ssba]

In this BICOM Expert View paper, Brig. Gen (res.) Michael Herzog assesses the threat from ISIL and sets out what is necessary to defeat it. One of Israel’s leading strategic analysts, Herzog examines the deep sociological and psychological causes of ISIL’s rise, before going on to make the case for a long-term response based on a clear vision for the future of the region. He calls on the West to promote cooperation between Israel and the pragmatic Sunni powers, and argues that Iran is no less potent a threat to Western interests and regional stability, and should not be seen as a regional partner.
