President Trump says the US economy is stronger than it has ever been. And the numbers back him up. Numbers, shmumbers – America is sinking. One consequence is that Israel is in trouble.
Why does it impact Israel? It is pretty simple, actually.
The US is Israel’s strongest supporter. We have your back, the Americans constantly tell Israeli leaders. We moved our embassy to Jerusalem. But the bigger America’s internal social and economic woes, the less engaged it is in the Middle East and the world. When Israel does need someone at its back, there may be nobody there.
