Toward Decline
The End of the U.S.-Israel Alliance
Why it matters
Erosion of the U.S.–Israel alliance signals fracturing consensus within the Western security architecture upon which AUKUS and Indo-Pacific stability depend. A U.S. withdrawal from or reduction of Middle East commitments could redirect American strategic focus and resources toward China/Taiwan, but alliance fragmentation increases risk of autonomous regional escalation (Iran, Hormuz) that could disrupt Australian energy security and regional partners.
