'Dror writes in a uniquely crisp and compact style, with readable lists of clustered ideas, backed up with voluminous documentation (the bibliography lists c900 items). He is not shy about giving praise, but is mostly critical of scholars and politicians for a variety of shortcomings, while urging a higher rationality under the umbrella term of 'statecraft,' and making a large number of provocative--but well-informed--21st century forecasts and proposals from an Israeli vantage point. This is futures-thinking at its best: sophisticated, broad-ranging, and challenging. And a valuable non-European/American perspective on world affairs in general and the Middle East in particular.' - Michael Marien, Global Foresight Books
'Perhaps the most thoroughly scrupulous assessment of Israel's political and security paradigms ever published. [Dror] advances an extremely compelling argument for the strategic urgency of striving for a regional peace. His book is a powerful indictment of every Israeli government that has failed to advance this strategic goal . . . Scrupulously rigorous, boldly visionary and refreshingly blasphemous, [Israeli Statecraft] is necessary reading for anyone for whom the future of Israel is important.' - Yonatan Touval, Haaretz, January 2012
‘Israeli statecraft is incredibly prescient in examining the long-term effects of the democratization of the Arab world and the decision by the Palestinians to seek membership at the United Nations... Dror correctly takes to task Western and Israeli opinion-makers who argue, naively, that the mere fact of democratization will make the Arab world more peaceful toward Israel.’ -- Seth Frantzman, The Hebrew University of Jerusalem, Digest of Middle East Studies, Spring 2012
'Yehezkel Dror is the doyen of Israeli strategists. The book fascinatingly paints a picture of Israeli statecraft. [This book] may be worth reading 'for the sake of knowledge'.' - Robert Spain, Independent Scholar, 2013
