Political scientist Stephen Walt says America’s unconditional support for Israel does not help its long-term future.
Israel was able to deal a serious blow to Iran and Hezbollah, but no one should expect them to “suddenly want to cut a deal”, argues Stephen Walt, a renowned political scientist and professor of international affairs at Harvard University. .
Walt told host Steve Clemons that Israel would have difficulty converting the short-term tactical successes it achieved in late September into major strategic gains.
Amid the one-year anniversary of the war on Gaza, a direct attack between Iran and Israel, and the threat of war over Lebanon, Walt says America’s unconditional support for Israel is jeopardizing its long-term future.
