American Foreign Policy Towards Israel “National Interest or Burden”

Abstract This study explores the evolution and logical basis behind US foreign policy towards Israel, examining it through a theoretical framework grounded in realist international relations theory. It investigates whether this relationship serves US national interests or constitutes a strategic burden in a region of significant importance to US interests. The study traces the trajectory of US foreign policy towards Israel from its establishment to the present, highlighting key shifts in this policy. Initially, the United States was not enthusiastic about Israel's founding. However, relations deepened after the 1967 war, which made Israel a strategic ally during the Cold War by defeating Soviet-aligned Arab nationalism. Israel subsequently received substantial support, including economic and military aid, which became a consistent feature across successive US administrations.

The study focuses on the exceptional position Israel holds in US foreign policy and questions the reason for this significant support, despite Israel's realist perspective being preoccupied with its crises with Arab neighbors. From this perspective, the US does not receive commensurate returns on its support; on the contrary, Israel may sometimes conflict with US national interests and pose a strategic risk in the region.The research concludes by balancing different perspectives, exploring the complex dynamics of US foreign policy, and raising questions about its motivations.
