He emphasizes the contributions of YBA alumni to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) and to all sectors of Israeli society, including a significant presence in the Knesset. He frames supporting the YBA as an investment in the future leaders and the backbone of Israel, especially at a time when the country's survival is challenged.
