Having read the latest Bob Woodward’s book “WAR” halfway through, I am mesmerised by the close ties USA has with the State of Israel. I don’t think the US Federal Government has working relationships par with anyone of the US Federal Member States inside its own territory, save New York State, because of its diplomatic, world trade and business importance. There is communication around the clock at every level of the federal government with officials of the State of Israel. The US President runs Israel at any place on earth, including onboard Airforce One (the US dedicated presidential jet). There is a constant stream of intelligence and information sharing unprecedented in state relations. Not even the UK or any NATO member state enjoys such unmatched political, diplomatic, economic, intelligence, and military close cooperation with the US. When you talk about Israel, you are talking about USA literarily and figuratively.
Like a naughty child, Israel may try sometimes to play stubbornly but eventually relents to US diplomatic pressure. Make no mistake. US strategic interests in the Middle East are aligned with those of Israeli state. In other words, Israeli is obliged to carry out US policies in the Middle East, doing most of the time, American dirty job. No NATO country can come close to Israeli in terms of close working relationships and policy alignment with any administration of the day of the USA Government. In Woodward’s book, you would find out that the entire team of the US National Security Council, starting with the president, is engaged with Israeli officials on a daily basis. Like its troublesome kid, the US government is supervising the political, military, and intelligence conduct of the State of Israel. Internationally and at UN Security Council, the US Government provides foolproof diplomatic cover and veto protection for all misconduct of Israel, no matter what.
Talk about US election interference. Israeli meddling, unlimited fundraising and spending by its lobbyist groups, and pressure on congressmen and congresswomen of both political parties to fall in line with US elite establishment and US government policy on Israel are overwhelming and unrelenting for decades since the State of Israeli was created in 1948.
For the Biden Administration and Democratic Party, blind and awful support of Benjamin Netanyahu’s genocide, ethnic cleansing, indiscrimate destruction by merciless military campaigns, including hospitals, schools and shelters for war displaced persons, and use of starvation as a weapon of war in Palestinian Gaza, came with a high price: Withdrawal of Joe Biden from his election bid and his party’s loss of the US Election 2024. Karma!
