Bar-Ilan University’s Begin-Sadat Center for Strategic Studies delivers clear, actionable analysis and policy recommendations on regional security and international affairs – trusted by senior leaders in Israel’s military and civilian decision-making circles.

The Begin-Sadat Center for Strategic Studies (BESA) is Bar-Ilan University’s independent, non-partisan think tank, producing policy-relevant research on Middle Eastern and global strategic affairs—especially issues central to Israel’s security, foreign policy, and regional stability.
