== The 1982 essay ==<br />
The essay appeared in ''Kivunim'' (Directions), "A Journal for Judaism and Zionism", issue 14, published by the Department of Publicity of the [[World Zionist Organization]] in Jerusalem.<ref name="AAUG1982" /> Yinon wrote that "Lebanon's total dissolution into five provinces serves as a precedent for the entire Arab world including Egypt, Syria, Iraq and the Arabian peninsula". He argued that "the dissolution of Syria and Iraq later on into ethnically or religiously unique areas such as in Lebanon, is Israel's primary target on the Eastern front in the long run".<ref name="Yinon1982">Oded Yinon, [https://ia803102.us.archive.org/18/items/astrategyforisraelinthenineteeneighties/A%20Strategy%20for%20Israel%20in%20the%20Nineteen%20Eighties.pdf A Strategy for Israel in the Nineteen Eighties] ''Kivunim'', no. 14, February 1982, English translation, Internet Archive copy, accessed 22 October 2026.</ref><br />
<br />
On Lebanon, he described a state with "no centralized power, but only 5 de facto sovereign authorities": a Christian north under the Franjieh clan supported by Syria, an east under Syrian control, a Phalangist Christian enclave in the centre, and in the south "up to the Litani river" a PLO-controlled region and "Major Haddad's state of Christians and half a million Shi'ites".<ref name="Yinon1982" /> The publisher's note, by the Association of Arab-American University Graduates, argued that the 1982 invasion of Lebanon "aims to effect certain parts of this plan".<ref name="AAUG1982" /><br />

== Other writing ==<br />
Shahak's notes cite an earlier article by Yinon, "Egypt's Population Problem", in ''The Jerusalem Quarterly'', no. 15, spring 1980.<ref name="AAUG1982" /><br />
