➡️The report recommends shifting the IDF's strategy to prioritize offense (70%) over defense (30%).

➡️The report assumes two major threats in the next ten years: A nuclear Iran and conflagration in the West Bank, Lebanon, Gaza, Syria, and Jordan (in that order).

➡️The report calls for enhanced focus on threats from Iran, including its nuclear program, and warns of potential risks from Turkey's regional ambitions. It suggests acquiring advanced weaponry, improving air defenses, and building a security barrier in the Jordan Valley to counter such challenges with 25k soldiers.

➡️The Commission observes that Israel has one irreplaceable ally, the US, and that Europe, may in the future become more hostile to Israel.

➡️The Commission goes on to conclude that Israel's use of force should be "as disproportionate as possible, and continuously unrelenting," leading to the annihilation or debilitation of its enemies
