Israeli Analysts Worry the US-Israel ‘Special Relationship’ Is Waning

Portside - The Institute for National Security Studies, an Israeli military outfit housed at Tel Aviv University, just delivered its strategic assessment report to Israeli President Isaac Herzog ... The main takeaway from the report is that Israel’s “special relationship” with the US is in danger. The report attributes the reason for this change to a generational shift in American politics, expressed in “the influence that the progressive young generation has had in denying the legitimacy of Israel and Zionism, which they see as expressions of white-colonialist supremacy.”
