Israel is going through a tense political movement as the political Right has gained control of its political scene. The result could be Israel transforming into an ethno-religious regime with illiberal tendencies.
However, Israeli domestic politics is none of the US’s concern. Moreover, the US needs to reconsider it relationship with Israel which is filled with all manner of controversy due to Israel’s penchant for taking US military technology and selling it to foreign actors and the overall entangling nature of this alliance. The latter factor could draw the US into a protracted conflict on the Middle East — a region teeming with political instability.
At this point, the US needs to completely rethink its relationship with Israel and start treating it like a normal nation.
