The U.S.-Israel alliance is entering a new phase.
In this episode of Israel Insider, Ashley Perry examines a new Middle East Forum report by Gregg Roman arguing that American aid to Israel is no longer the foundation of the relationship it once was. As Israel’s economy, defense industry, and regional position evolve, the question is no longer whether Washington supports Israel, but what kind of alliance best serves both countries.
Perry breaks down the report’s central argument, why the shift matters, and how ending aid could reshape the U.S.-Israel partnership without weakening it.
