Secretary of State Antony Blinken recently reaffirmed this partnership, stating that the two nations will work together to prevent Iran from gaining a nuclear weapon. This is a top security concern for both countries, as Iran continues to threaten Israel and provide weapons to terrorist groups. The United States provides robust economic and security assistance to Israel, allowing the Jewish state to improve its missile defense systems and maintain its air defense system. Together, the United States and Israel will continue to stand strong against threats to their shared values and security.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Shared ideals and democratic values are at the heart of the U.S.-Israel partnership<\/li>\n<li>Countering aggression by Iran\u2019s Islamist regime is a top security concern for both nations<\/li>\n<li>The United States provides $3.8 billion in annual security assistance to Israel<\/li>\n<li>The two nations are committed to preventing Iran from obtaining nuclear weapons<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Israel is a top priority.
