Israel's Alliance with U.S. Protects Both Nations
(Jerusalem Post) Israel's UN Ambassador Danny Danon - Israel is America's chief anchor of stability in a volatile region. The U.S.-Israel alliance delivers tangible, measurable benefits to American security. Israeli intelligence has repeatedly provided early warnings that have saved American lives. Former Hizbullah commander Ibrahim Aqil had a $7 million bounty on his head by the U.S. government for playing a key role in the bombings of the U.S. embassy in Beirut in April 1983, which killed 63 people, as well as the attack on the U.S. Marine barracks in October 1983, which killed 241 Americans. In 2024, Israeli forces eliminated Aqil. This is what partnership looks like. Standing with Israel is not selfless charity; it is strategy. It is the recognition that the enemies of the Jewish state are also enemies of the United States.
