The U.S.-Israel partnership is under unprecedented strain. Growing differences could undermine the interests of both the United States and Israel, making strong cooperation uncertain in an increasingly volatile and unpredictable Middle East. Crossroads explores the unique partnership between the United States and Israel and traces how political and strategic dynamics are reshaping the relationship in unforeseen ways. The study traces the development of the U.S.-Israel relationship, analyzes the sources of current tension, and suggests ways forward for policymakers in both countries. Copies of the book will be distributed to attendees.
