CLEAN BREAK MEMO (1996) 🇮🇱🇺🇸

The "Clean Break: A New Strategy for Securing the Realm" is a 1996 policy paper crafted by a group led by Richard Perle for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, that said war should be waged on 7 middle eastern countries: Syria, Iraq, Iran, Lebanon, Libya, Somalia, and Sudan.

The memo had contributions from figures like Douglas Feith and David Wurmser, who later influenced U.S. policy under the Bush administration. 

The memo, produced by the Institute for Advanced Strategic and Political Studies, proposed a bold shift in Israel’s security strategy, rejecting the Oslo Accords’ “land for peace” model in favor of a proactive, militarized approach to ensure Israel’s regional dominance. 

It advocated abandoning negotiations with Palestinians, marginalizing Yasser Arafat, and pursuing regime change in Iraq to destabilize Syria and weaken Iran, thereby reshaping the Middle East’s power dynamics. 

The strategy emphasized preemptive actions, such as targeting Syria’s alleged weapons programs and supporting proxy forces, while fostering alliances with Jordan and Turkey. 

Critically, it urged Israel to align with U.S. interests, leveraging American military and political power to execute these goals. 

The memo influenced U.S. intervention in Iraq in 2003, as its authors, now in key U.S. roles, pushed for regime change, aligning with Israel’s goal of neutralizing regional threats. 

The memo’s legacy is its perceived role as a blueprint for destabilizing Middle Eastern governments, for the expansion of the state of Israel.

Today, Israel is trying to get U.S. support to make a regime change in Iran, to complete their plan from the 90’s.
