"The most important organization affecting America's relationship with Israel. — The New York Times

Strategic cooperation between the U.S. and Israel is robust.

For decades, the United States and Israel have shared a deep strategic relationship aimed at confronting the common threats to both nations. During the Cold War, the United States and Israel formed a bulwark against the spread of Communism. Today, in the post-9/11 world, the United States and Israel are working more closely together than ever before to defeat the common threats of radicalism and terrorism on the battlefield and at home.

Israel's Right to Self-Defense

"We strongly believe that, given its size, its history, the region that it's in, and the threats that are leveled against us -- against it, that Israel has unique security requirements. It's got to be able to respond to threats or any combination of threats in the region."

—President Obama - July 6, 2010
