The Iran war has prompted many in Washington and across the United States to question whether U.S. military involvement in the Middle East is driven by Israel’s strategic interests and whether the alliance is drawing Washington into commitments that undermine America’s own national interests.
This webinar examined how the war is reshaping domestic political support for the alliance and intensifying the public debate over unconditional U.S. support for Israel. It explored whether growing scrutiny could translate into a reassessment of Washington’s commitments, how diverging strategic priorities could affect the future of U.S.–Israel relations, and what a recalibration of U.S. support might mean for the balance of power in the Middle East.
What would a more conditional relationship that puts American interests first look like, and how might it reshape America’s role in the region?
