Ever since its emergence as a state, the US and Israel have enjoyed a good relationship, and today, under the leadership of President Trump, the two countries are stronger allies than ever before. Why this might be the case stems from a wide variety of reasons. Israel, a country of jews, is more ideologically and socially homogeneous to the United States than its other Arab neighbors. Not only this, but with the United States and Israel both being at odds with powers such as Iran and Syria, it is only natural for groups with common enemies and aligned interests to work together.
However, nothing is ever simple in the modern world. With the reintroduction of the Jews to their old homeland, a different group of people, the Palestinians, was forced to share what had become their homeland with a foreign group. The Palestinian-Israeli problem soon descended into violence, and it has stayed that way in modern times.
The PLO has committed countless acts of terrorism against innocent Israeli people, and in return, the IDF is brutal in their treatment of palestinians. It now seems to be a common sight to see another terrorist strike in Israel, or another innocent civilian abused or even killed by the IDF. So as this conflict rages on, it has become the role of the international community to step in and intervene with the violence.
In this sense, the US has taken an especially active role in its foreign policy in regard to Israel. As if funneling billions of dollars in aid to Israel was not enough, recently the US has officially recognized Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, further aggravating relations between many Arab nations and Israel.
In my own opinion, I think the US, and other foreign powers, should take less of a hands on role in this region, and leave it to the UN to settle. When foreign nations interfere, especially with their own agendas in mind, it aggravates the situation even further. This delicate conflict should be solely dealt with by the UN, given that they are an impartial third party, whos only agenda is to make peace.
