Professors John Mearsheimer and Stephen Walt examine Israel’s role in the Iran war and the wider regional crisis -- and revisit their most controversial argument in 2006 about the lobby shaping U.S. foreign policy: the Lobby is bad for the US and Israel too.ShareDid President Trump enter this war on his own terms, or under pressure from Israel and its allies in Washington? In a striking resignation letter, former U.S. counterterrorism official Joe Kent argued that Iran posed no imminent threat, and that the conflict was driven in part by external pressure.This raises a deeper question: if Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu helped draw the United States into the conflict, can he prevent Washington from stepping back? And what happens if Israel continues the war alone? At the same time, Israel faces mounting strain at home, as the army chief of staff alerted about the soldier’s exhaustion in the army. The problem is amplified as the ultra-orthodox refuse to go to the army.With warnings from its own military leadership about manpower shortages, the longer-term sustainability of the war is increasingly in doubt.The task is herculean: Israel with less than 10 million people wants to be the hegemon in a region of 200 million.
