YORAM ETTINGER -- Israel has consistently acted as America’s most pro-active ally, carrying out game-changing operations that protect U.S. security and global interests.
During June 13-21, 2025, Israel carried out a most complex and successful military offensive against Iran’s Ayatollah regime, which is the epicenter of anti-US global Islamic terrorism and drug trafficking, obliterating Iran’s air force and ground-to-air tracking, jamming and intercepting systems. This Israeli offensive facilitated the June 21, 2025 US bombing of three critical Iranian nuclear facilities, with no effective Iranian opposition.
In 2017, Israel infiltrated an al-Qaeda bomb-making cell in Syria, sharing with the US details of a scheme to plant explosives in batteries of laptops and other electronic devices, while evading airport screening devices. Consequently, airport security has been dramatically upgraded, sparing the US homeland security nightmare.
These two cases demonstrate the pro-active Israeli contributions to US homeland and national security, which no other US ally would/could perform in the face of mutual threats, such as Sunni and Shiite global terrorism, and in defiance of Russian and Chinese interests.
