Israel Victory Project
The Forum’s Israel Operation
The Forum works inside Israel’s policy conversation, not around it. The Israel Victory Project, under director of Israel affairs Alex Selsky, runs a Jerusalem-based team with a floor in Israel’s parliament and a presence on its airwaves.
The Stakes
Wars end when one side wins and the other side knows it. That is the Israel Victory argument, and it needs carriers inside Israel’s own system (in the Knesset, on the air, in the security conversation), not only in Washington. Jerusalem is where the argument must land first; Washington follows what Israel demonstrates.
The Record
•3 Knesset caucuses standing: Israel Victory, Eastern Mediterranean Cooperation, and the Iran Freedom Caucus chaired by MK Oded Forer.
•39 consecutive nights on Israeli national television during the war.
•A Knesset emergency motion on Turkey signed by six members from six parties.
•The Iran Freedom Caucus: Israeli solidarity with the Iranian people, institutionalized in the Knesset.
What Is Next
The Hebrew edition of Daniel Pipes’s Israel Victory, and the Israel Briefing Mission 2027: a working week inside the Knesset and the security establishment, capped at roughly 15 participants.
39
Consecutive nights on Israeli national television during the war.
What a Gift Funds
Caucus staffing and the Jerusalem-based team that keeps the Forum inside Israel’s policy conversation: the researchers, the briefings, and the presence that make the Forum a participant in Israeli decision-making rather than a commentator on it.
