Résumé:
The American-Israeli “special relationship” dates back to 1948, when the US was the first
country to recognize the establishment of the “Israeli Jewish” state after WWII. The common
interests between the two countries promoted the United States to publicly support
Israel unconditionally from its early days till the present day. The main purpose of this
research is to investigate the historical context and the background behind the US support to
Israel during its struggles with Palestine and the Arab World in general. It also focuses on the
reasons that made America the long-standing and strong supporter of Israel. In addition to
that, the study sheds light on the US foreign aid to Israel since the post-WWII era in an
attempt to show the caliber of such a non-negotiable support. As it aims to show the
implications of that support on Palestine, we employed the historical approach to foster a
deeper understanding of the issue. Furthermore, the incorporated charts and graphs provides a
comprehensive insight into the subject matter through the analytical method.
