Abstract
The focus of this thesis will be to explore the relationship between the United States and Israel and the reasons for which the United States holds the state in such interest as to provide the current levels of support, both financially and diplomatically. In doing so, it will examine the impact of public opinion, or lack thereof, as well as the power held in interest groups and lobbyists in the United States. Furthermore, it will look at how the bureaucratic process can impede change in an ever-changing world, and disallow the United States to evolve in line with the political environment of the world.
