| Summary / Abstract (Note) | The importance of the United States to Israel’s national security cannot be overstated. Washington is usually the first, and often the sole, port of call for strategic consultation – almost always the foremost one, and inevitably the primary means of addressing the challenges Israel faces. America is the be-all and end-all of most policy deliberations in Israeli national-security decision-making forums. Some four decades into this ‘special relationship’, the price of a truly remarkable partnership has been a significant loss of Israeli independence. Indeed, Israel’s dependence on the US has become so deep that it is questionable whether the country could even survive today without it. |
