(Redirected from Jerusalem Institute for Strategic Studies) Conservative Israeli think tank

The Jerusalem Institute for Strategy and Security (JISS) (Hebrew: מכון ירושלים לאסטרטגיה ולביטחון) is a conservative think tank that researches and promotes viewpoints on national security issues in Israeli policy. Established in 2017 as the Jerusalem Institute for Strategic Studies, it changed its name to the current one in January 2019.

The institute was established in 2017 and it conducts policy-oriented research on national security problems in the Middle East. It educates elite audiences and the general public on the security and foreign policy challenges facing Israel.

The institute's fellows emphasize the salience of security in diplomatic agreements, and uphold the imperative of Israel being able to defend itself by itself in all eventualities. They reject unilateral Israeli moves that strengthen adversaries. Above all, they insist on united Jerusalem as critical to Israel's security and destiny.

Publications

In 2019, JISS published a national security plan for Israel, alongside a strategic forecast for 2020 which remained valid despite the coronavirus crisis. In May 2020, the institute released a strategic action plan for phased territorial implementation of the Trump peace plan (i.e., Israeli sovereignty in parts of the West Bank).

In 2021, JISS published national security policy recommendations for Israel's 36 government.
