America and Israel: A Strategic Alliance
Michael Doran
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 seminar, we will examine 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 and Trump years. With a firm grasp of this history, we will chart the possible paths ahead for the United States and the Jewish State
