Policy Document on Israel - United States Relations
This paper, written by Prof. Yaacov Bar-Siman-Tov in honor of the President's Conference, depicts the special relations between the United States and Israel which are considered to be the most important political and security assets that Israel holds in the international sphere. These relations, formed after the Six-Day War, assisted Israel in promoting its political and security goals in both the Middle Eastern and the International systems. Israel has a major interest in not only preserving these relations, but also in promoting them as much as possible. The essentiality of the special relations is substantial particularly at this era in which Israel is kept in international exclusion. The continuity of the previous USA support for Israel at the same level and scope is needed in order to face the de-legitimacy processes of the Israeli policy and even of the State of Israel in different circles of the international system.
