The Partnership Beyond the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict: The Free World’s Struggle

While the Israeli-Palestinian conflict often dominates the discourse in Israel-U.S. relations, the strategic alliance between the two nations is rooted in a broader struggle led by the U.S. between the free world and radical Islam, spearheaded by Iran. Even if the conflict is resolved, the threat from Iran and its terrorist proxies will continue to endanger the entire Western world.

Radical elements exploit the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as a pretext to spread their ideology of terror (as seen with Hezbollah and the Houthis during the war), but their true goal is to destabilize global security and undermine the democratic values and freedoms of the Western axis. Therefore, Israel must focus its dialogue with the U.S. on leading a Western coalition to stop Iran and its terror network from destroying the free world.

I invite you to watch the attached video, where I delve into the global challenges we face and the strategic importance of our partnership with the United States. These remarks were part of a panel on Israel-U.S. relations at a conference hosted by the Institute for National Security Studies (INSS).
