Exploring the Evolution of American Politics Towards Israel

The evolution of American politics towards Israel has seen a significant shift over time. In the past, the bipartisan consensus emerged in Washington, agreeing that US foreign policy should support Israel as a strategic ally. However, there was also an emphasis on assisting the Palestinian Authority and pressuring both sides to achieve a two-state peace agreement. This approach was altered dramatically after the 9/11 attacks, leading to a change in how Israel and Palestine were perceived in the country. The events of September 11, 2001, brought about a collective transformation in American attitudes towards international relations, particularly in the context of the Middle East.
