The Institute for National Security Studies (INSS) is considered the most important of its kind in Israel. Headed by Maj. Gen. Amos Yadlin (ret.), a former head of Military Intelligence, its researchers include retired senior military officers as well as former top diplomats and academics. Though it is considered to lean center-left because of the political orientation of its leadership (Yadlin was the Zionist Camp’s candidate for minister of defense in the 2015 election), even people aligned with the far-right attend INSS conferences, which receive considerable media attention.
On Oct. 2, the INSS published “A Strategic Outline for the Israeli-Palestinian Arena” and promoted it widely. The plan, composed and edited over two years by Yadlin, Udi Dekel and Kim Lavi, proposes diplomatic measures for peace.
