“Imagine a U.S. president embarking on a lavish trip to the Middle East, signing major deals with Arab leaders, while Israel, its long-time ally, isn’t even invited to the table. This hypothetical scenario, which could easily have occurred with Donald Trump’s return to power in 2025, is a warning bell for a decades-old policy that has held America’s credibility hostage: unconditional support for Israel. This alliance has not only stripped the U.S. of its role as a credible peace broker but has also made it complicit in human rights violations and an obstacle to democracy in the region. The time has come for the U.S. to drastically curtail its massive aid to Israel and instead invest in democratic institutions and comprehensive peace across the Middle East. Every time a genuine hope for peace has emerged in the Middle East, Israel’s actions have worked to destroy it.” (05/31/25)
