The Summary of the “Daniel Project” report states as follows: “we are faced with ’irrational’ enemies, countries or terrorist organizations, armed with nuclear or biological weapons and poised to use them. In view of this, we must not rule out that Israel might find itself in a ’conflict situation’ not only vis-à-vis a well-defined adversary-country, but also against a non-governmental body which will apply a ’suicide bomber’ which will serve as the ’trigger’ for a war designed to ’annihilate the cancer of Zionism’. In such an eventuality, Israel will not be able to apply its nuclear capabilities against an adversarial country, since none could be designated as the source of the unconventional terrorist attack. For this reason, the team suggest Israel develop a practical and effective preemptive strike policy.
Israel’s strategic future, the team notes further, vastly depends on the prosperity of the Israeli economy. Clearly, an ever-increasing expenditure on defense in terms of the
share of Israel’s GNP would have an adverse economic effect. A defense budget that would exceed 7% of Israel’s GNP would seriously hinder Israel’s strength.
The team recognizes that Israel is facing intensifying isolation in the international community, so they are of the opinion that Israel would have to rely on its own resources and capabilities than ever before.
