THE IDDF PODCAST WITH CHUCK FREILICH & DANNY AYALON: The shared values of heritage and strategic interests of the US-Israel "special relationship"

1 hour 9 minutes

This is the Israel Defense and Diplomacy Forum (IDDF) – with Prof. Chuck Freilich, former Israeli Deputy National Security Advisor, and Danny Ayalon, former Deputy Foreign Minister and Ambassador to Washington.

In this podcast, the second in a multi-part series on the US-Israel “special relationship”, Chuck and Danny discuss its three fundamental pillars - a shared heritage and values, strategic interests and the “Israel lobby”.

Scroll back to Episode 6 featuring Chuck and Danny with US peace envoy Dennis Ross for the first in this special series.

Future episodes will address what the special relationship actually encompasses, including military aid and cooperation, joint strategic consultations and planning, the US commitment to Israel’s Qualitative Military Edge, strategic diplomatic cooperation and more; what being pro-Israel means today; cases where the two sides have failed to live up to each other; and four critical questions for the future - whether the price of the relationship has been a significant loss of Israel’s independence and freedom of maneuver, whether Israel could even survive today without the US, where the relationship is heading and what can be done to preserve it for the long term.

Join us as they agree and disagree, in detail and in-depth, always respectfully, on the critical issues Israel faces..
