CTEC Director and Middlebury Institute Professor Jason Blazakis and CTEC/CNS expert Professor Avner Cohen recently penned an op-ed in Foreign Policy on why the alliance between Trump and Netanyahu is dangerous to Americans and Israelis.

Professors Blazakis and Cohen weighed in on Trump’s new peace plan between Israel and Palestine, Netanyahu’s influence regarding Iran’s nuclear program, the US’s counterterrorism strategies, and other key political decisions the US has made that have strongly benefited Israel.

They go on to clarify:
“The Trump-Netanyahu compact has shaken the fundamentals of U.S. policies, forged out of decades of bipartisanship-driven consensus-building measures designed to arbitrate the Middle East’s longest-running conflict.”
