The relationship with Israel is in a different league entirely”
In light of Israel’s multi-front war in the region, including Gaza, Lebanon, and the escalation with Iran, how can we understand the US-Israel ‘special relationship’?
And where does the pro-Israel lobby in the US fit inside this framework?
That’s what we’re asking Harvard professor Stephen Walt, who joined us for an extended conversation on Real Talk.
Walt is considered one of the most influential US foreign policy experts. In 2007, he famously co-authored a book with John Mearsheimer titled ‘The Israel Lobby and US foreign policy’ which generated a lot of attention and controversy for challenging what has been a taboo topic in the US for decades.
