The Enigmatic Ron Dermer: A Closer Look at Israel’s Minister of Strategic Affairs
Amid the turmoil of the Gaza war, Ron Dermer, Israel’s Minister of Strategic Affairs, has operated behind the scenes, shaping critical decisions alongside top leaders. Despite his pivotal role, Dermer remains largely invisible to the Israeli public, sparking curiosity and concern.
Dermer’s influence extends to crucial decisions such as control of the Philadelphi Corridor and discussions on Hezbollah. Despite this, he maintains a low profile, rarely engaging with the public or media, a stark contrast to other officials.
The enigmatic Dermer’s close ties with the U.S. organization JINSA raise eyebrows, as he advocates for a defense pact between Israel and the U.S., a move that could reshape Israel’s security policy significantly.
Dermer’s diaries reveal his close alignment with Prime Minister Netanyahu, emphasizing his role as a personal advisor over a public figure. Meetings with Netanyahu far surpass those with other ministers, underscoring their deep bond.
As Dermer’s influence grows, his interaction with JINSA intensifies, hinting at a significant policy shift. While veiled from the Israeli public, Dermer’s actions behind closed doors could herald a new era for Israel’s security strategy.
