A research that was conducted by the Institute for Policy and Strategy predicts an international crisis that will arise, this year or in the next few years, in the area and put Israel in a very tough position.
Subsequently, the Israeli army radio station interviewed the head of the institute, General Daniel Rothschild, and the head of the Herzliya Conference in the Herzliya Regional Center, to discuss the results of this research and how it reflects on Israel.
Rothschild said, "The predictions of the institute depend on the events that happened in the region and in the world. We try to predict what would happen in the coming year or few years. Like you said, Israel will be in a critical position. This year will be very hard for us."
He added, "All the factors that we studied are inter-related and connected to each other; the economic, regional and social factors are all connected. We also study the impact of the events that take place in the world on Israel, and, the impact of what happens in Israel on the world."
About the events in the Arab region, Rothschild explained that the idea of a New Middle East is just as they expected; because of what has been happening in Egypt and Syria too, also what has been happening in Iran, Turkey and North Africa, and because of the international economic depression and its effects.
He said the reasons behind this were the super-powers; for not interfering in what goes on in the Middle East while they sought to provide solutions for the dilemmas in the area, whether it be for internal problems in those countries or the changes in the order of priorities for these super-powers.
