Ariel Eli Levite was the principal deputy director general for policy at the Israeli Atomic Energy Commission from 2002 to 2007.[1]
Career
Before his government jobs, Levite worked for five years as a senior research associate and head of the project on Israeli security at the Jaffee Center for Strategic Studies (subsequently renamed INSS) at Tel Aviv University. He has taught courses on security studies and political science at Tel Aviv University, Cornell University, and the University of California, Davis.
In September 2000, Levite took a two-year sabbatical from the Israeli civil service to work as a visiting fellow and co-leader (with Dr. Elizabeth Sherwood-Randall) of the Discriminate Force Project at the Center for International Security and Cooperation (CISAC) at Stanford University.
Prior to joining the Carnegie Endowment in 2008, Levite was the principal deputy director general for policy at the Israeli Atomic Energy Commission from 2002 to 2007. He also swas deputy national security adviser for defense policy and was head of the Bureau of International Security and Arms Control (an assistant secretary position) in the Israeli Ministry of Defense.
Ukraine
In 2022, Levine called for a direct US/NATO No-fly zone and intervention in the Ukraine war, in effect a direct war with Russia:
Washington, indeed NATO, must now abandon its understandable yet excessive caution in responding to the tragedy. Arming the Ukrainians with inherently limited and inferior weapons, sanctioning Russia (though leaving its energy exports unscathed), and looking after millions of Ukrainian refuges are all vital but are no longer enough. NATO should still refrain from offensive military operations against Russian forces anywhere or deploying ground and air forces to Ukraine. However, it is possible to do a lot more while avoiding an all-out confrontation with Russia. NATO should immediately declare Ukrainian territory to the West of the Dnieper a humanitarian safe haven which it is willing to protect. It should also extend its missile and air defenses shield to defend Ukrainian population centers, vital supplies, and humanitarian evacuation outside the Donbas from Russian airborne attacks. These will not stop the war nor spare extensive casualties and destruction. But they can help stop a heartbreaking tragedy from turning into a full-fledged genocide.[2]
