Matt's Internship at CIS and Moshe Dayan Center

My internship is through both the Center for Iranian Studies and the Moshe Dayan Center, several professors, including both Meir Litvak and David Menashri are affiliated with them. Both  centers are located on the 4th floor of the Gilman Humanities Building on TAU’s campus. Upon arriving, I met some of the interns from the Moshe Dayan Center, I went on a tour of the campus and became acquainted with the Library and the schools database.
I intend to use the resources of both centers to understand the change in Israel’s National Security Strategy following the events of the end of the Cold War and the 1991 Gulf War, assessing both the reasons for the change of policy as well as the implications on the Middle East and, more specifically, on Iran. With the access to the library and the databases, I hope to begin my own personal research this weekend in preparation for a meeting with him on Tuesday.
Next week, I intend to fully engage professor Litvak in my research project, as well as find out more about how Interns can submit articles to the Iran-Pulse and the Tel Aviv Notes, both of which are publications released by CIS and the Dayan Center respectively.
