The View Commentary oflow-cost battlefield unmanned vehicles (both air and surface) would yield strong re sults. Third, we should up our game in terms Of intelligence cooperation. The lsraeli military and the associated lsraeli intelligence services Mossad, Aman and Shin Bet are the best in the MiddIe East. Working together, they have been ahead Ofour more segregated sectors on a Wide range oftrends, including the disintegration 0f Syria, the events in Egypt and the military and nuclear capability oflran. Here we need a more open exchange Of information between our two countries (especially human intelligence fr0 m lsrael and overhead sensor data from the U. S. ). More liaison offcers between military and intelligence commands would help, as would more frequent conferences and dialogue on principles. FINALLY, WITHIN THE opaque world ofspecial forces, we have a great deal we could share with each other. Having the U. S. SpeciaI Operations Command constantly operating with lsraeli commandos would be Of enormous benefit to both forces. Both are expert in battlefield intelligence collection, use of unmanned vehicles, sniper technology and a host ofother specialized skills. Setting up aJOint special-forces training and innovation for operations ⅲ lsrael would be powerful. The motto ofthe crack lsraeli paratrooper brigade is simple: "Acharai, ” which translates to "Follow me. ” The saymg stems from the custom oflsraeli commanders' directly leading their troops intO battle, even at the most senior levels. For the U. S. in the complex MiddIe East, we would be well served to follow the lsraeli military's advice on a range 0fkey issues. And likewise, they would benefit greatly from further intelligence, technology and p artnership with the U. S. lt truly is a case oftwo nations that are unarguably stronger together—let's build on what we have to get tO the next level.

S. should form a closer military alliance with lsrael By A m James Stavridis THE し S. SPENDSA GREAT DEAL OF TIME FOCUSING ONTHE military cap abilities represented by the Middle E astern nations it rightly considers threats: lran and Syria. And we correctly spend much political and military capital working with our Arab allies and partners, including Egypt, Saudi Arabia, lraq, the United Arab Emirates, Qatar and Bahrain. But our best military partner in the region, by far, is lsrael—a point that has been lost amid the fury and posturing over President Obama's condemnation ofsettlements and Donald Trump's announcement Of bOth an ambas s ador and the decision tO move our embassy from Tel Aviv t0Jerusalem. The U. S. would be well served to more fully develop its partnership with the lsrael Defense Forces in several crucial areas as we stand together facing the challenge s 0f the Middle E ast. We already cooperate a great deal at a military-to-military level. During my time as commander ofthe U. S. European Command, I had responsibility for developing our shared defensive strategies and tactics, and saw firsthand the quality oflsraeli forces. Their military culture and ethos are world-class, honed in the crucible ofbattle in which they have fought tO preserve their nation from many attacks since its creation in 1948. Knowing that they face Arab and persian enemies many times their Size, they are dedicated to defending their families and their nation through a combination ofguile, technology and true grit. WhiIe lsrael's military budget is over 5 % ofits GDP (a little less than twice that ofthe U. S. ), it still amounts to less than $ 20 billion, augmented by an additional several billion annually in military aid from the し S. lsrael survives ⅲ a hOStile environment through innovation, determination and strong human capital —including a tradition Of near univers al conscription that provides a willing force ofsome 3 million young men and women, with roughly 120 , 000 entering servlce annually. This has made them lean and mean while providing a real benefit tO them. We could learn from such commitment. Perhaps the most important area ofpotential cooperation is in the world ofcybersecurity. lsraeli intelligence gathering is superb, and the integration ofthe lsraeli military with the nation's robust pnvate-sector security 6r1 れ S iS nearly seamless. lsrael is also ahead ofthe U. S. in bringing advancements 仕 om the private sector into public hands ; the brightest people 。 constantly flow between the military and civilian spheres. A SECOND ZONE ofpotentially enhanced cooperation is in technology and innovation. while we have jointly worked on a variety 0f defense projects over the years (like the Arrow, which is anti-ballistic-missile technology), this is an area in which we could enhance each other's efforts considerably. ln addition tO missile defense, doing more together in advanced avionics ()s we did with the F -15 ) , miniaturization (like lsrael's s mall airborne-warning aircraft) and the production 16 TIME January 16 , 2017 DEFENSE BY THE NUMBERS According tO its National Cyber Bureau,lsrael accounts for 10 % Of global investment in cybe rsecu rity research.

TheBrief have a bargaining chip. Repealing Obamacare without installing a viable successor would "wreak havoc on the insurance marketplace; ” says Ezekiel Emanuel, one 0fthe law's framers. lt would leave as many as 30 million Americans without health care coverage, according tO an Urban lnstitute study, while saddling millions more middle-class families with spiking bills. Hospitals, facing waves ofnewly uninsured patients, may pass on the costs tO private insurance plans bought by busine s ses and their employees. Then there is the risk that insurers flee the individual market amid spiraling uncertainty, further raising rates for VOters across the country. Which leaves RepubIicans facing both a policy dilemma and a political one. Wary of throwing millions ofAmericans 0 価 their insurance plans, Republican leaders are pursuing a cautious approach. The likeliest option, championed by House Speaker Paul Ryan, is t0 repeal the law swiftly while prescribing a prolonged phase-out period, lasting up t0 a fewyears, t0 buy time for the party tO devise a comprehensive replacement. "There's going tO have tO be a transltion period,: ” says SenatorJ0hn Thune 0fSouth Dak0ta. But many conservatives are in no mood tO delay a repeal that Trump vowed would begin on "day one ” ofhis Administration. "There's no excuse for breaking that promise,' warns Twila Brase, who heads the conservative Citizens' Council for Health Freedom. "lt's got t0 be gone byJune at the latest. ” For now, Republicans don't have a filibuster- proofmajority t0 repeal the law outright. lnstead, they plan t0 dismantle many ofits provlsions through a budgetary process that requires only a simple maJority in the senate. Yet even as that process kicks intO gear, it's unclearwhat a workable GOP plan might look like. Representative Tom Price, the Georgia physician Trump picked to head the Department ofHealth and Human Services, has proposed one ofthe most detailed road maps, expanding tax credits and bolstering health-savings accounts. But his plan does not keep the most popular parts 0f Obamacare —including provisions ensuring that those with preexisting conditions can purchase affordable coverage and allowing young adults tO stay on their parents' insurance —which Trump has vowed to protect. The plan also scraps Obamacare's requirement that all Americans either buy insurance or pay a fee—an idea the GOP detests butwhich helps keep insurers solvent. MeanwhiIe, Democrats will barnstorm the country, seeking to make the debate as p ainful as possible for RepubIicans by imitating their strategie s Of ye ars p ast. Democrats plan to organize rallies to tell stories ofpatients hurt by the repeal. Change is coming, but the fight over America's health care system is far from over. —With reporting by SAM FRIZELL/WASHINGTON 6 TIME January 16 , 2017 TICKER House GOP changes tack on ethics bOdy House RepubIicans dropped a plan tO substantially limit the powers Of the Office Of CongressionaI Ethics, an independent bOdy that probes claims Of misconduct bylaw- makers, following out- rage from Democrats and a criticaltweet by President-elect DonaId Trump. lsraeli soldier guilty ofmanslaughter Sergeant 日 0 「 Azaria, an lsraeli soldierwho fatally shOt a wounded Palestinian attacker in the West Banklast March,was convicted Of manslaughter by a militarytribunalin TeI AvivfolIowing a high- profile, divisive trial.

The decision, hailed by conservation groups as historic, could help end the global trade of ivory for good. Here's why: ELEPHANT 粮 THE ROOM The Chinese market represents an estimated 70 % of the world's ivory trade, making it the biggest in the world. lvory carving in China iS considered a fine art and a cultural tradition. C orrupt offcials ー known to accept ivory as bribes—had resisted curbing sales for years. BIG IMPACT China's move could have a huge effect on poaching. Experts say more than 100 , 000 African elephants have been killed for their tusks over the past decade. Conservation groups hope China's commitment will inspire other maJ0r ivory traders, like Thailand, to follow suit. NEW LEADERSHIP The ban isjustthe late st example of China's acting to protect the environment. ln 2016 alone, it agreed tO discuss commercial tiger farming, ratified the paris Agreement on climate change and introduced taxes on pollutants. “ China wants to be seen as part ofthe global village," says WiII Travers, president ofwildlife charity Born Free.
