The strategic US-Israel relationship
February 16At a time such as now — when the Middle East is particularly tumultuous, and the futures of many Middle Eastern countries, such as that of America's longtime ally, Egypt, are uncertain — the strength and ensured continuity of the U.S.-Israel relationship is paramount. As the only established democratic state in the Middle East, Israel is an invaluable and strategic partner that shares mutual foreign policy and development goals with the United States. Israel's dependability is critical to the U.S.-Israel relationship. The United States has reaped many benefits from this strong relationship, ranging from security assistance to collaboration on military and technological advancements. Recent developments in such areas have been critical to U.S. national interests and security.
