'''Institute for Advanced Strategic & Political Studies''' is a Jerusalem based right-wing think-tank with connections to prominent US neocons.  In 1996 the think tank published a policy paper for Israel's [[Likud]] party urging it to withdraw from the Oslo peace process. The report, titled "[http://www.iasps.org/strat1.htm A Clean Break: A New Strategy for Securing the Realm]", advised the Israeli Prime Minister [[Benjamin Netanyahu]] "to work closely with Turkey and Jordan to contain, destabilize, and roll-back" regional threats, help overthrow Saddam Hussein, and strike "Syrian military targets in Lebanon" and possibly in Syria proper. Prominent amongst its authors were [[Richard Perle]], [[David Wurmser]] and [[Douglas Feith]].{{ref|cb}}
