The US-Israel relationship: Beyond foreign aid

WATCH: “Straight Up” with Danny Seaman and guest Yoram Ettinger

Are Americans really ‘dying’ for Israel, or is America’s alliance with Israel based on mutual interests?

Join Danny Seaman, former senior official at the Prime Minister’s office, and Yoram Ettinger, former liaison to Capitol Hill and expert on Israel-U.S. relations, as they shed light on the often misunderstood dynamic between the two nations. Yoram shares insights into the strategic partnership that benefits both Israel and the United States, particularly in military defense and intelligence, and explains why Israel’s relationship with America is far more than just foreign aid.

From the influence of American politics on Israel’s diplomatic efforts to the role of the media in shaping global perceptions of the Middle East, this episode dives deep into the complex political landscape of the region. With Israel’s future at stake, Danny and Yoram discuss how Israel navigates the geopolitical pressures it faces, both domestically and internationally.
