Foreign Policy
Israel's foreign policy centers on security, the U.S. strategic alliance, and expanding diplomatic normalization with Arab and Muslim-majority states. It maintains a policy of nuclear ambiguity and prioritizes counterterrorism and intelligence cooperation. The Abraham Accords represent a major diplomatic achievement, shifting regional alignments. Israel opposes Iran's nuclear program as an existential threat and has conducted operations against Iranian proxies across the region. It also cultivates ties with India, European states, and increasingly African nations.
