War, Peace, and the Future of the U.S.-Israeli Relationship
Join Aaron David Miller as he engages the Middle East Institute’s Yael Lempert, Princeton’s Daniel Kurtzer, and the Atlantic Council’s Daniel Shapiro, three former U.S. ambassadors to the region with deep experience on the U.S.-Israeli relationship, on Carnegie Connects.

The Trump Administration’s war against Iran has highlighted one of the stranger paradoxes of America’s longstanding relationship with Israel—at a time when Israel’s image in the United States is at a low point, cooperation and coordination with Washington has reached an all-time high. One would be hard pressed to identify any large-scale U.S. military campaign in decades in which there has been greater partnership between allies.
Is the foundation of this alliance—common and shared values; a high coincidence of interests; and strong base of domestic support—under stress? What of the relationship between Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Trump? And what does the future of the relationship hold for U.S. and Israeli interests in a complex and volatile region?
