“The Information War Against U.S.–Israel Intelligence Cooperation” with Alex Goldenberg
The Information War Against U.S.–Israel Intelligence Cooperation
U.S.–Israel intelligence cooperation gives both countries a major advantage against Iran and other hostile powers—but that strength has also made the alliance a target. Alex Goldenberg examines how Iran, Russia, and China use influence operations, antisemitic narratives, and existing political divisions to undermine public support for the relationship. How do foreign adversaries exploit domestic movements and media ecosystems, and can the alliance preserve the political foundations that allow intelligence cooperation to work?
