Ron Dermer, Israel's Minister of Strategic Affairs, has been absent from the public eye and has not briefed the Knesset on his activities. Despite his significant influence on national policy, Dermer rarely communicates with the Israeli public and avoids using social media or granting interviews to Israeli media. Instead, he appears more focused on his close relationship with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Additionally, Dermer has deep ties with the Jewish Institute for National Security of America (JINSA), a Washington-based think tank known for its Republican and hawkish stance. JINSA advocates for a mutual defense pact between Israel and the United States, which Dermer has been actively promoting since joining the Israeli government. His interactions with JINSA officials and their efforts to sway American public opinion reveal his involvement in reshaping Israel's security approach and policy.
