In this episode, Former Israeli Ambassador Yoram Ettinger reveals why America’s national security depends on Israel more than any other ally. He explains how Israel provides the U.S. with critical advantages in intelligence sharing, homeland security, counterterrorism, military technology development and testing, and strategic positioning in the Middle East.

He contrasts Israel’s unique contributions with those of European and Arab countries, explaining why they cannot offer the same level of reliable, high-value defense cooperation.

Ettinger also warns that U.S. recognition of a Palestinian state could harm the U.S.–Israel alliance and ultimately undermine America’s own national security interests.
