Martin Van Creveld is a professor of history, focusing on military strategy, at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem. In this 2004 volume (Thomas Dunne Books, ISBN 0-312-32866-4, 188 pages), he makes the case, based on military needs, for Israel to do three things.
First, to construct a barrier wall along the Green Line between pre-1967 Israel and the Palestinian Territories.
Second, for the Israeli military to deploy some forces that need to be at a distance from enemy terroritory at sea, in the Mediteranean.
Third, for Israel to withdraw completely from Gaza and from the West Bank.
The book also discusses Weapons of Mass Destruction and their role in the region, why Israel can survive without water resources from the West Bank, using high-technology sensors and electronics in defense, and numerous other specific concerns.
