Elie Pieprz, IDSF's Director of International Affairs, breaks down the real state of the U.S.–Israel alliance ahead of Israel's elections — and why Tehran may be misreading what's actually happening.
Recorded August 13, 2026.
In this briefing:
The "rift" is a ruse. When Israel's interests demand it, misalignment with Washington is sometimes deliberate — a cover used to catch Iran off guard.
The elections that change everything. How Israel's vote reshapes the alliance — and what a new government means for U.S. pressure.
What Iran doesn't know. The strategic gap between public tension and private coordination — and why the Iranians keep miscalculating.
Where Israel acts alone.
The red lines where Jerusalem defies even Washington to guarantee its own security.
The settler-violence narrative. What the media gets wrong, and how supporters of Israel should navigate the shifting perception battle.
