Takeoff to 100

TO THE FULL PAPER

On the eve of the 75th Israeli Independence Day in April 2023, after around a year of work, we finished writing the draft of a vision for the State of Israel’s centenary year — called ‘Takeoff to 100’, as follows:

Israel is a regional power and a secure, prosperous and sustainable role-model society

that is a blessing to the world

In 2048, Israel will be a safe national home for the Jewish people with a solid Jewish majority

thanks to a broad regional agreement and gradual separation from the Palestinians

A Jewish, democratic and liberal state in which all citizens enjoy freedom, equality and security

in the spirit of its Declaration of Independence

A vibrant, creative and prosperous country

that has a sustainable infrastructure and is ready to cope with climate challenges

And a role-model society that makes a meaningful positive contribution to the world

In order to make the vision a reality, we wrote, with the help of many people, a plan, which we called the "Takeoff to 100 Plan", designed to help the Israeli governments to bring the State of Israel to its centenary while realizing the vision. Following the Hamas attack on 7.10.23 and its results, a need to update the program arose, connecting it to the new reality.

The plan offers an infrastructure for an achievable strategy to realize the above vision, which will shape our path today and in the next generation - due to immediate decisions and investment in education.
