• Israel's National Security Council is stepping back from climate security planning.
• Climate change poses strategic threats to Israel's infrastructure and stability.
• Extreme heat events and water stress may increase regional tensions.
• Israel has warmed by 0.6°C per decade over the past 30 years.

This decision may indicate a significant blind spot in Israel's national security strategy, which could exacerbate regional instability and threaten the country's economic stability. Climate change may become a major strategic threat to Israel, suggesting a need for urgent attention to climate security planning.
