The American-Israeli alliance, once a cornerstone of Middle East policy, is rapidly unraveling due to profound shifts in American public perception and strategic calculus. Historically, the bond was forged on shared democratic values and Cold War strategic interests, solidified by Israel's decisive victory in the 1967 Six-Day War, which redefined both nations' roles regionally. However, decades of Israeli military actions, particularly in Gaza and Lebanon, have shattered the perception of shared moral principles, eroding the foundational civic legitimacy that sustained the relationship. Israeli actions in Gaza and the war with Iran are now widely viewed as misaligned with core US interests, weakening the second pillar of the alliance: strategic utility. Netanyahu's hardline government and its policies, including judicial reforms and reliance on far-right coalition partners, clash sharply with the democratic values once assumed shared, alienating liberal American Jews and younger voters.
