<p>This article explores the issue of male sexual assault within the evolving Israeli socio-cultural context, focusing on key historical developments since the establishment of the State of Israel. The analysis is framed by three interconnected theoretical axes: gender, militarism, and collective identity, all of which are shaped by both local dynamics and global influences. I argue that each of these areas are witnessing simultaneous processes of dismantling traditional centralized structures and resurgence of political, religious, and cultural conservatism. These opposing forces generate significant social and interpersonal tensions, with actions on either side often perceived as violent by the other. However, these changes also create opportunities for more open discourse about sexual abuse, particularly male sexual assault. A narrative, semi-systematic review was conducted, examining academic literature, journalistic sources, and publications from the Association of Rape Crisis Centers in Israel. Based on this review, a historical overview will be presented, covering three distinct periods. Finally, the article will propose three key strategies for prevention, the promotion of appropriate punitive measures for assailants, and the acknowledgment and support of victims.</p>
