The latest edition explores how global conflicts and rapid technological advances are reshaping warfare, energy security, and international relations. From Gaza and Lebanon to Iran and beyond, the Israel Defense Forces’ use of advanced systems, autonomous vehicles, and sophisticated drones signals a turning point in how wars are fought, raising urgent questions about the future of combat.

A central focus is the growing role of artificial intelligence in both military and civilian spheres. Contributors examine how artificial intelligence is being integrated into Israel’s technology sector, how global oversight efforts are taking shape through the United Nations, and how governments and economies can prepare for a future increasingly defined by intelligent systems.

The issue also highlights innovation and resilience on the home front, from renewable energy solutions that can better protect critical infrastructure to the rise of the Negev as a high technology hub. Writers spotlight efforts to expand opportunities for women in technology and showcase how Israeli innovation is fostering international cooperation.

Finally, the edition analyzes the broader geopolitical fallout of ongoing wars, including the fragile ceasefire with Iran, shifting regional alliances, the rising economic costs of prolonged conflict, and debates over how to rehabilitate Gaza. Together, the pieces offer a wide-ranging look at a world being reordered by war, technology, and uncertainty.
