Fast Market Research recommends "Israel Defence & Security Report Q1 2015" from Business Monitor International, now available

Boston, MA -- (SBWire) -- 12/02/2014 --Israel's domestic and regional security situation remains volatile. BMI thinks that the ceasefire between Israel and Hamas is a short-term solution for temporary peace. However, we expect a likely resumption of hostilities in the not too distant future. We are currently most concerned about the rising tensions across the West Bank. We also expect the number of Christian draftees into the army to increase without notable impact to the size of the army.

We foresee the trend of conscientious objection from Israel's Druze community to emerge further in times ahead and we expect the number of Christian draftees to increase, although without notable impact on the size of the armed forces.
