Israel–United States relations

Israel–United States relations refers to the bilateral relationship between Israel and the United States. Since the 1960s the United States has been a very strong supporter of Israel, and promoted good relations between Israel and Jordan, Lebanon and Egypt, along with several other states in the Abraham Accords, while holding off the hostility from other Middle Eastern nations, especially Syria and Iran. The relations are a very important factor in the United States government's overall policy in the Middle East, and Congress has placed considerable importance on the maintenance of a close and supportive relationship.
