Israel Considers Proxy Warfare, PSYOPs in Strategy Shift Against Iran

During a significant event at the Knesset, multiple voices, including Knesset members and leaders from notable NGOs, advocated for Israel to adopt proxy strategies and psychological operations (PSYOP) to counter Iranian influences, mirroring tactics used by Iran. The discussions took place at the Knesset Israel Victory Caucus, in cooperation with the Middle East Forum Israel, emphasizing a shift from defensive to offensive measures against threats posed by Iran and its proxies.

Speakers highlighted the need for Israel to engage in more strategic non-kinetic actions to destabilize the Iranian regime, thereby weakening its support for groups like Hezbollah and Hamas. MK Ohad Tal, co-chair of the Knesset Israel Victory Project, stressed the urgency of investing in programs that would undermine Iran’s governmental stability, advocating for a proactive approach to secure Israel and promote global peace.

The event also saw contributions from former US Ambassador to Israel David Friedman and Minister for National Projects Orit Strook, who discussed the broader implications of the October 7th attacks and the necessity for a decisive Israeli victory in ongoing conflicts.
