Nonproliferat Subcommittee on Terrorism

Israel Imperiled Nonproliferat Subcommittee on Terrorism

The state of Israel has always been surrounded by threats since its existence-threats by nations and terror groups that hate Israel because it is a Jewish state. The goal of these actors has been to eliminate the state of Israel, an aggression started as soon as Israel became an established state. Arab armies amassed on its borders to destroy it. Israel has continued to exist in the face of suicide bombers and terrorist onslaughts like no country in history. In recent years, the threats to Israel have increased. The volatile situation in Syria and its transformation into a full blown terrorist haven directly threatens Israel's security. Israeli officials now believe that Hamas has completely replenished its rocket supply that Israel destroyed in 2014. There's also a new kind of terrorism. Palestinian lone wolf terrorists have carried out hundreds of attacks against civilians in Israel.
