Israel and its Strategic Importance

Religious Policies

Israel and it’s strategic importance to the United States has a lot to do with their religious policies. We both share the commitment to democracy and Israel has shown this commitment by changing their government’s blue print. The Basic Law lays a foundation of freedom for Israeli citizens and for Jews worldwide. Since America and Israel share the world’s largest Jewish population, having that common ground helps with diplomatic relations between America and Israel. Many Jews and Christians see Israel as a religious homeland that fosters good will between our two countries.
