The Islamist takeover in the Middle East and North Africa has created perilous strategic
turbulence in the region. Consequently, it is now critically important that the United States and
its few allies cooperate closely. Unfortunately, this has not been the case in recent weeks for US-

nuclear facilities has turned into ugly bickering, much of it disguised. This is harmful for both
Israel and the United States.

encourage extremist militant forces across the region. The moderates would be discouraged,
intimidated and invariably weakened to the point where they would be unable to negotiate with

Arabia, Egypt and Turkey. All three would possess nuclear weapons and be dominated
politically by Islamists. In such a scenario, Israel would lose its strategic advantage in the region.

would decline and talented young Israelis would build their future abroad. No responsible Israeli
