About ICGS
Who We Are
Israel Center for Grand Strategy (ICGS) is a non-profit institution that operates at the intersection of research, strategy, and public discourse impacting Israel’s security, political, and economic future. We recruit and engage experts from Israel’s political arena, security services and academia to formulate a long-term grand strategy for Israel.
ICGS exists to address a fundamental problem – Israel lacks a cohesive grand strategy to achieve lasting strength, security, and prosperity. While Israel boasts remarkable achievements since her founding in 1948, these were produced by a series of ad hoc tactical responses to ongoing security crises and regional threats. However, Israel will only fulfill her vast potential if policies are drawn from a broad, fact-based grand strategy.
Our Mission
The mission of ICGS is to create a Grand Strategy for Israel to achieve lasting strength, security, and prosperity. We knows that such a strategy must be created on a strong foundation of clear facts and hard data, researched and curated by an experienced team with vision, expertise, and passion for our mission.
With an emerging archive of compelling research, analysis, and strategic documents, ICGS will inspire a vibrant public discourse with the power to shape long-term policy as it ripples through Israel’s democratic process.
What We Do
Formulating a grand strategy for Israel requires in-depth discussion and investigation in diverse fields:
- Strengthening international ties
- Forming a concept of security
- National resilience, social cohesion
- Macro and micro economics
- Demography
- The Israeli-Palestinian conflict
- Settlement
- Internal security
Israel Center for Grand Strategy invests a lot of effort in making its materials accessible to the public – in writing in a fluent style, in short and message-focused videos, in podcasts accessible on popular platforms, on social media and on a renewed and friendly website.
ICGS promotes its contents in the media in order to mediate the collected materials to the public. The center holds conferences, some of which are open to the general public and some of which are broadcast and recorded in videos open to the public.
