Consequently, it is now critically important that the United States and\nits few allies cooperate closely. Unfortunately, this has not been the case in recent weeks for US-\nIsrael relations regarding Iran’s nuclear program. The disagreement about attacking Iran’s\nnuclear facilities has turned into ugly bickering, much of it disguised. This is harmful for both\nIsrael and the United States.\n\nTo heal this rift — which is necessary to effectively address the Iranian threat — we must\nunderstand the following basic facts:\n\n1. The Israeli fear of a nuclear Iran is genuine. It is not a political trick of Prime Minister\nBenjamin Netanyahu or Defense Minister Ehud Barak. A nuclear Iran would bolster and\nencourage extremist militant forces across the region. The moderates would be discouraged,\nintimidated and invariably weakened to the point where they would be unable to negotiate with\nIsrael. In just a few years, Israel will be surrounded by three ‘Pakistan-like’ countries: Saudi\nArabia, Egypt and Turkey. All three would possess nuclear weapons and be dominated\npolitically by Islamists. In such a scenario, Israel would lose its strategic advantage in the region.\nIt would lose its lead as a country of entrepreneurship and excellence, as foreign investment\nwould decline and talented young Israelis would build their future abroad.
