TheMisgav Institute for National Security and Zionist Strategy (formerly namedInstitute for Zionist Strategies) is an Israelithink tank.
Some of the activities of the Institute include the following.
The Institution wrote a draft for a possible constitution, which was presented in 2006.[1][self-published source?].[2][better source needed]. The draft constitution emphasizes the sections defining the State ofIsrael as the national home of theJewish people, and it significantly alters the relationship between the judicial authority and thelegislative andexecutive authorities. The Constitutional Task Force listed among its members: Prof.Avraham Diskin, Prof.Moshe Koppel, Prof. Berachyahu Lifshitz, Judge (ret.) Uri Strosemn,Rabbi Dan Barry, Dr. Yitzhak Klein, Adv.Joel Golovensky and Israel Harel. This draft constitution was not adopted.
This project studied more than 20NGOs in Israel and their donors. The Institute, in collaboration withNGO Monitor, issued a joint report claiming that foreign governments were funding NGOs in Israel in order to influence Israeli policy and public debate.[3] As a result, a bill was proposed to the Knesset requiring funding disclosure by NGOs receiving support from foreign political entities. The bill was approved in February 2011 and was not well received by theEuropean Union.[4]
The IZS, as part of the research of Dr. Hanan Moses, examined the extent of "bias toward post-Zionist discourse" in sociology departments throughout Israeli universities and whether what the Institute views as the "Zionistnarrative" is given equal treatment in Israeli academia. The investigation claimed that all Israeli universities exceptBar-Ilan University have what the research describes as "post-Zionist bias" in their sociology departments. Those claims were compared by some toMcCarthyism[5][6]
In October 2023, the Institute published a paper describing theOctober 7 attacks as "a unique and rare opportunity to evacuate the entire Gaza Strip".[7][8]
