Ruth Wasserman Lande: As a mother of four children who were in a shelter just a few days ago, waiting for hours as the threat of Iranian ballistic missiles became an all-too-real experience, the fear of future conflict is undeniable. The hope for peace with the Palestinians may seem like a distant dream. However, I believe, as do many others, that if Israel maintains a strong security position, we cannot afford to turn a blind eye in today’s world. We must remain vigilant and ensure the safety of our civilians.”
If Israel maintains a strong security advantage—because, in my humble opinion, and I believe many others share this view—we cannot afford to turn a blind eye in the current global situation. We must maintain vigilant security measures, especially with the buffer zones that allow civilians to live peacefully. With this foundation, a comprehensive agreement can be reached with the international community, but it will require cooperation from the UN and Saudi Arabia.
