US, Israel ‘need each other: They may not like or trust one another but relationship functional’

Angela Diffley is pleased to welcome Aaron David Miller, Senior Fellow at the Carnegie Endowment for International Peace in Washington. As a veteran Middle East negotiator under Republican and Democratic administrations, Mr. Miller argues that power, perception, and pressure shape outcomes more than goodwill or ideology. Today, Netanyahu’s influence is diminishing, and Trump is cornered by his own rhetoric. The US-Israel dynamic is transactional: The relationship may be functional, but it’s fragile.
