Israel 2048: A Blueprint for a Rising Asymmetric Geopolitical Power argues that 7 October 2023 shattered the logic of status quo management and forced Israel into “Zionism 2.0”: a new era defined by sustained power projection, technological primacy, and a widening strategic theatre from Gaza and Lebanon to Iran, the Eastern Mediterranean and Asia. The central warning is that Israel’s vulnerability is conceptual, not kinetic: without a coherent national mission rooted in Jewish civilisational identity and translated into a binding national security strategy, Israel risks remaining tactically dominant yet strategically exposed.
Rather than treating security as a standalone military problem, the report lays out a multidimensional blueprint that fuses deterrence with preventive action, diplomacy, trade corridors, and defence technology as instruments of statecraft. It positions Israel as a pivotal node in a new “technological golden triangle” linking the US, Gulf partners and India, and argues that Israel must convert battlefield advantage into political outcomes by professionalising strategic communications, strengthening the Abraham Accords, and shaping regional alignments against the Iranian regime and the Qatar and Türkiye backed Muslim Brotherhood axis.
Looking to Israel’s centenary, Israel can become not only a resilient nation-state, but a central civilisational and geopolitical pillar that connects East and West through emerging trade and security architectures, while building greater strategic autarky to reduce exposure to foreign political constraints.
