"People without experience in war will not be taken away": Why did Israel not close the borders in the early days of the war

Unlike Ukraine, Israel has not closed the border for departure for the military from Hamas since the beginning of the war. Focus surveyed experts believe that such measures could be avoided. It was enough to remove law enforcement officers from special customs and increase financial motivation for servicemen. Since 2014, when the Russian Federation occupied the Crimea Peninsula and began the war in the Donbass, many experts compared Ukraine with modern Israel.

After a full -scale invasion of February 24, 2022, the comparison only increased, and at the highest level. President Vladimir Zelensky said that our country will become "Great Israel, but with his face" after the war, and the head of the Ministry of Defense Kirill Budanov emphasized that the experience of Israel would come to Ukraine for several years.

On October 8, the tag official officially announced the war with Hamas, after the Palestinian group broke through the borders with the Gaza sector and attacked civilians. Israel called for a record number of reservists in the first days - 300,000. And in the media there were dozens of stories about the brave Israelites, who immediately went home from abroad to stand up for the Motherland. Here is a clear resemblance to Ukraine.

In the first days of the Great War with Russia, many Ukrainians also voluntarily appeared in military enlistment offices or self -organized in TROs, some returned from abroad to replenish the Armed Forces. There is only one difference: in Israel, despite the declaration of war, they did not close the borders for departure for the military. "In power in Israel are the former military who served in the vagal, in particular, Prime Minister Binjamin Netanyhah-Captain of Tahal.

This is a whole state policy of managing the country. People with military experience differ from civilians. They know that any war -This is mathematics, understand the quantitative composition of army units, and do not think about involving unprepared people in combat tasks, "-says a military expert, instructor Roman Svitan in a conversation with focus. Ukraine could also go the path of Israel, creating a professional army ready at any time to defend the country.

This would simplify the mobilization processes by eliminating forced call. The state has all the resources to implement a plan and get a 300,000th army of professionals, says the expert. It is enough to remove law enforcement officers from the special account of law enforcement, who, according to the law, are not subject to compulsory conscription. The state could mobilize law enforcement officers on a rotary basis, 30% of each unit.

This would replace the fighters at the front who protect the country for a year and a half. And to accomplish tasks within the country, the state could attract law enforcement officers who went into stock. "We have a huge structure of law enforcement officers on a special basis. These are motivated, professional people who are able to handle weapons, their hundreds of thousands of people.

They need to be involved in combat missions, and the practice of forced mobilization of people from the street - to stop. Israel - we will receive a group of law enforcement officers who will protect their homeland, "the expert continues. The second that the authorities could do is to allow the commanders of brigades through recruiting centers to recruit professionals.

To do this, it is necessary to raise the cash maintenance of the fighters who perform the task on the front line of the front, from 3 to 10 thousand dollars a month. "We do not need a large army. Three hundred thousand trained servicemen are enough. It is 1% of the population of Ukraine. They need motivation - financial retention. We have this number. Trained servicemen are more Dollars, but for five or ten - will go. We are not communist, but capitalist society.

And the owners of land, plants and steamers have to pay servicemen for the protection of their property, "Svitan says. Ukraine has closed the borders for conscripts in the first days of a full -scale invasion. Politicians have thought that open borders would lead to massive outflow of people and to stand in the first days against the hundred thousand Russian army will be difficult.

At the same time, thousands of volunteers were ready to defend the country at the beginning of a full -scale invasion of the Russian Federation into Ukraine near military enlistment offices. As in history with Israel, the media wrote about Ukrainians who returned home from abroad to join the Armed Forces. "If they had not closed the borders, most could take their families to safe places and return to perform combat missions. Sefener family has a good effect on a serviceman.

Then he has in his head in the first place And not thoughts - the Family Shahamed Family will hit the family or not, - Svitan continues. According to the political analyst Igor Reitrovich, in Israel, all men, with some exceptions, in particular for religious reasons, are serving. Therefore, mobilization does not shock the population: every Israelite knows what will serve in the best army of the world, and the country will take care of it.

"If the Israelites are captured, its task is to save their lives. And commanders act on the principle of" do me ", that is, go into battle on the first line of the front. Since society has grown in such an atmosphere, there is no point in closing the borders," - he says Reitrovich's focus. In Ukraine, according to the expert, even those who wanted to fight at the beginning of a full -scale invasion of the Russian Federation now do not know how to be in the case of mobilization.

The conscripts are not sure whether they will prepare before they are sent to the combat unit, as well as whether there is a necessary security within the brigade to complete the tasks. "The authorities are responsible for the army. As long as talking about a possible full -scale war, serious training could It is to fix it, but very slowly. And so to go the way of Israel, we need a combined approach - on the one hand, a professional army where the fighters will receive a decent salary.
