Parallels Between India-Pakistan and Israel’s Security Challenges – Briefing with Aditi Tyagi

Miri discusses the important distinctions and parallels between state-to-state conflicts, like India vs. Pakistan, and state vs. non-state actor challenges, such as Israel vs. Hamas. She praises India’s precision strikes on terrorist infrastructure inside Pakistan, emphasizing the extensive intelligence, operational competence, and minimal civilian casualties. Miri highlights how non-state terrorist groups benefit from protection and support by host states (Pakistan for Lashkar-e-Taiba; Lebanon, Syria for Hezbollah), and the global problem of inconsistent definitions and double standards around terrorism.
