The Jerusalem Institute for Strategy and Security (JISS)[1] (Hebrew: מכון ירושלים לאסטרטגיה ולביטחון) is a conservative think tank[2] 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.

Activity

The institute was established in 2017 and conducts policy-oriented research on national security issues in the Middle East.  Its publications serve Israel's government agencies. The institute influences Israeli and foreign politicians and the public on Israel's security and foreign policy challenges. It also provides professional development for the next generation of Israeli national security scholars.

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.

In May 2020, the institute released a strategic action plan for phased territorial implementation[25] of the Trump peace plan[26] (i.e., Israeli sovereignty in parts of the West Bank).

In 2021, JISS published national security policy recommendations for Israel's 36 government.[27]
