The future of US-Israel ties is uncertain as American military aid to Israel is set to expire in less than four years. While the majority of legislators want to continue financing for the Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), there is a growing minority in America who want to reduce all foreign military funding. The Heritage Foundation's recent call to phase out military aid has caused controversy, but decreasing aid over time could allow the relationship to evolve and strengthen. However, the symbolism of decreasing aid must be carefully considered to avoid being perceived as a weakness by shared adversaries like Iran. Israel needs America, and America needs Israel for their national security interests.
