Abstract
While democratic theory calls for an civilian supervision of the military according to the instrumentalist model of political-military relations, Israel has adopted a different model: political-military partnership, a pattern that aroused due to the prolonged conflict with the Palestinians and the Arab states. The IDF's involvement in policy making intensified since the 1990's when it advocated reconciliation with Israel's adversaries. However, the outbreak of the Intifada in 2000 transformed the military's position into a militant and hawkish one. The paper describes how the military is shaping Israel's policy since the early 1990's and analyses the new kind of civil-military relations, that have been developed in the latest wave of wars, namely in low intensity conflicts.
