Hugh Hewitt: Israel: Our Most Important Ally

Friday, November 21, 2025

If you love America and want it to flourish—and most Americans do—it is necessary to understand that America’s most important ally is Israel. Period. Full stop.

In the 25 months since the invasion of Israel by Hamas and rampaging massacre by the terrorist army from Gaza—followed by IDF grinding battle on six other fronts—we saw American support for the Jewish state slip.

But support for Israel is rebounding now—and that’s great news for both the U.S. and Israel, and for the region and the world.

The reason is simple: Free states must balance the power of the world’s evil regimes—lest the latter overcome the former.

The United Kingdom was, for all the 20th century, America’s most important ally. Now, it is Israel, and it will likely remain Israel for decades to come.

I could sum it up this way: Israel is as inseparable from America’s future as America is inseparable from the future of the West.
