Projects

The catastrophe on October 7, 2023 demonstrated that Israel is facing an immediate existential danger. The fourth quarter of 2023 demonstrated that Israeli society and Israeli individuals harbor enormous strengths. This is why 2024 will be the most important year in the history of the State of Israel. In other words, it will be a make or break year. A year during which it will be imperative to harness the positive forces within Israel to enact a comprehensive national process that will repair the political system, reform the apparatus of government and strengthen the military. This will require a fundamental structural change that will allow Israel to win the war, redefine its national agenda and prosper.

The Tikkun Project of the Israeli Third Way Foundation is an essential, non-political and expert-led initiative designed to help Israel’s future leadership accomplish this crucial mission. Unique access to Israel’s foremost authorities in the relevant fields — and to the most up-to-date and pertinent information and data streams — will enable our initiative to formulate groundbreaking ideas that can be put into practice rapidly and precisely. Unique access to the leaders who will most probably head of the future government will enable our initiative to turn innovative position papers into implementable and life-changing policy.

In its first phase, the Tikkun project will address the primary problems exposed over the last year: the government is barely functioning, the army is not strong enough and Israel does not have a systematic policy regarding its neighbors and the threats it faces. Therefore, the Tikkun Project will focus on four critical issues in the coming months: forging a new national grand-strategy and national security doctrine; dealing creatively with the Palestinian challenge — in the West Bank and Gaza; composing a proposal to reform the structure of government; and formulating a plan to overhaul the civil service. These four interrelated breakthroughs are essential so that the new leadership of the country would be able to restart the nation, renew rational governability and accomplish other vital goals: strengthening the army; preparing for a possible future war; advancing regional peace; integrating the Arab and ultra-Orthodox minorities into Israeli society; and renewing the alliance between the Jewish state and the Jewish diaspora.
