military, only one potential strategic threat against Israel remains: the Iranian nuclear
program. Iran's acquisition of nuclear weapons is likely to transform the Middle
East's strategic balance, force changes in Israel's national security planning in
general and its nuclear policy in particular.
This article analyses the options open to Israel in response to a nuclear Iran, and
the advantages and disadvantages of each. Evaluation of the options available to
Israel reveals seven alternatives. In the near future, Israeli decision makers will
have to decide whether to adopt one or a mix of options ranging from preemptive
attack to unconcealed nuclear deterrence. After analysing each of these options, the
conclusion is that Israel probably will move to unconcealed nuclear deterrence in
the event of Iran completing the development and the acquisition of nuclear weapons.

| Summary/Abstract |
This article deals with the evolving Israeli policy on the issues of ballistic missile threat, and missile defence. The Israeli perception of the missile menace has changed drastically as a result of the 1991 Gulf War. This led to a set of decisions by the Israeli leadership which have resulted in the allocation of enormous resources to accelerate the development and deployment of the Arrow anti-tactical ballistic missile system. To analyse these decisions and their implications, the unique Israeli decision-making process is described. The article outlines this process as part of the Israeli strategic culture, and examines the roles, and influence of the main actors in the process. Israel can be described as a relatively liberal democracy in all aspects of civilian life. But, on issues of national security and defence, the country is a limited and restricted democracy.
