Just too much bad blood has built up between these [US and Israel] during Netanyahu’s term. The feud is not only over Israel’s conflict with the Palestinians but on the related matter of US handling of what Israel considers its strategic environment in the wake of the Arab Spring.

 

Aaron David Miller, a veteran US Middle East peace negotiator, recently described the Israeli-US relationship as “too big to fail”. For the moment that is undoubtedly true….[But] if Israel continues to cramp US efforts to respond effectively in a changing region it will severely test the alliance.

 

It looks as if the cracks between Israel and the US are only going to grow deeper and wider.
