Jewish Journal | Why America Wins When Europe and Israel Stand Together

David Siegel and Lawrence Muscant argue that closer Europe-Israel cooperation serves America's own strategic interests, reducing U.S. defense burdens while Israeli technology and intelligence-sharing strengthen European security at minimal cost to Washington. Drawing on roughly $50 billion in annual Europe-Israel economic integration and Israeli weapons systems already deployed across European militaries, the authors contend that deeper Europe-Israel ties deliver security and technological benefits to Washington without requiring additional U.S. expenditure.
