The enduring political, military, and economic support provided by the United States to Israel since its establishment in 1948

  • Claim

The United States has been a steadfast ally of Israel since its founding in 1948, a relationship rooted in shared democratic values, strategic interests, and strong cultural and historical ties. This alliance has been characterized by extensive U.S. aid, both military and economic, to Israel. Key elements include the United States' support for Israel's right to self-defense, significant American aid for Israeli military and technological development, and consistent U.S. diplomatic backing of Israel in international forums. Over the decades, various U.S. administrations have played roles in mediating conflicts in the region, notably the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and have attempted to broker peace agreements. The U.S. Congress has also been a crucial player, often demonstrating strong bipartisan support for Israel. This long-term support has shaped U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East and has been a pivotal factor in the dynamics of the region.
