America-Israel Foreign Policy: From Truman to Trump
Gabriel Scheinmann | July 1 - 5
For nearly seven tumultuous decades, the United States and the State of Israel have enjoyed a uniquely close relationship. The two nations are linked by bonds of sympathy and affection no less than shared security interests, intelligence sharing, and military cooperation. But how will the U.S.-Israel strategic relationship change over the coming years? In this institute, Gabriel Schienmann, executive director of the Alexander Hamilton Society, will help us to see the unfolding logic of the U.S.-Israel relationship as it has grown from the founding of Israel in 1948 through the Cold War, from Oslo to the intifadas, from 9/11 through the Obama years. With a firm grasp of this history, we will chart the possible paths ahead for the United States and the Jewish State.
