About Book

This book examines Israel’s security requirements for achieving defensible borders as a foundation for sustainable peace. Diker and Ya’alon analyze geopolitical, military, and political considerations, arguing that a secure territorial framework is essential to prevent conflict escalation and ensure regional stability. The authors discuss strategies for border management, the prevention of terrorism, and mechanisms to support coexistence and long-term peace in Israel and neighboring regions. While highly policy-focused, the book addresses broader implications for conflict resolution, rehabilitation of affected communities, and fostering conditions for peaceful coexistence.The book is relevant for policymakers, peacebuilders, and scholars interested in strategic peace implementation and conflict prevention. Its insights into security frameworks can inform programs for radicalization prevention and rehabilitation, particularly in communities impacted by prolonged conflict. The focus on stable borders, coexistence, and prevention of violence makes it applicable to community dialogue, youth empowerment, and interfaith engagement initiatives aimed at sustaining peace.Strengths: • Detailed policy and security analysis • Practical guidance on preventing escalation and fostering peace • Connects security with coexistence and stability Weaknesses: • Focused on one regional context; may not fully generalize • Limited academic discussion on social rehabilitation or ethics Unique Contributions: • Bridges strategic security considerations with broader peacebuilding frameworks • Highlights the connection between political stability and rehabilitation of affected communities
