This study examines some key historical precedents, considering four key cases in which Israeli prime ministers chose preemptive or preventive military strikes and had to decide whether to notify or consult with the United States: the Suez crisis of 1956, the Six-Day War of 1967, the 1981 strike on Iraq's nuclear reactor, and the 2007 bombing of the mysterious Syrian nuclear facility known as al-Kibar. The Eisenhower and Reagan administrations were indeed surprised by Israel's actions in 1956 and 1981, but U.S.-Israel relations were put under far less strain by the bilateral discussions that preceded Israeli military action in 1967 and 2007. With the widening and deepening of the U.S.-Israel special relationship over the decades, Israeli prime ministers will have to think very carefully before choosing confrontation over consultation with the United States."--Back cover. 651 0 $a Israel $x Foreign relations $z United States $v Case studies. 651 0 $a United States $x Foreign relations $z Israel $v Case studies. 651 0 $a Israel $x History, Military $y 20th century. 650 0 $a Preemptive attack (Military science) $v Case studies. 710 2 $a Rand Corporation. $b National Security Research Division, $e issuing body. 830 0 $a Research report (Rand Corporation) ; $v RR-498-ARA. 941 $a 2 952 $l OVUX522 $d 20180203051159.0 952 $l USUX851 $d 20160826114324.0 956 $a http://locator.silo.lib.ia.us/search.cgi?index_0=id&term_0=7B75494E55EF11E58B7A61D1DAD10320Initiate Another SILO Locator Search
