History

Historical Context

The U.S.-Israel alliance strengthened during the 1982 Lebanon War, marking a pivotal moment in military cooperation. Since then, the U.S. has vetoed numerous UN resolutions on Palestinian statehood, including a significant veto in 2024. This enduring support for Israel, often prioritizing its security, continues to influence Middle Eastern geopolitics and complicates peace efforts between Israelis and Palestinians.
