Brevissima storia della relazione speciale tra Stati Uniti e Israele

Ever since the end of World War Two, the United States have forged a “special relation” with Israel. This relation has had its moments of crisis but especially since the 1970’s it has become ironclad. The essay offers a brief overview of its ups and downs, concluding that while public opinion regarding the US’s unwavering support of Israel has changed over the last few years, in the current situation it is difficult to be optimistic. Biden’s refusal to mitigate Netanyahu’s assault on the Palestinians has made the US’s conduct appear deeply hypocritical in the eyes of the rest of the world, precisely at a time when the electorate of the Democratic party has become increasingly critical of its “special” ally in the Middle East.
