Reevaluating U.S. Military Aid to Israel: Former Ambassadors Speak Out
Two former U.S. ambassadors to Israel, Dan Kurtzer and Martin Indyk, have called on the Biden administration to cut military assistance to Israel, arguing that it creates a false sense of dependency and distorts Israel's economy. They believe that Israel is financially strong enough to stand on its own and that the U.S.-Israel relationship should be based on a new approach, not centered on foreign aid. This comes at a time when the U.S.-Israel relationship is strained due to disagreements over Israeli policies, and as Democrats become divided over the issue.
