'Best ally since WWII': Sen. Tom Cotton praises Israel in meeting with Netanyahu
PM Netanyahu meets Senator Tom Cotton in D.C., where Cotton praises Israel as America’s top ally since WWII in their shared fight against Iran and terrorism
Assessment
Senator Cotton's designation of Israel as America's top ally since World War II, made during a private meeting with Prime Minister Netanyahu, signals a deliberate reinforcement of the U.S.-Israel strategic partnership. The framing around a shared fight against Iran and terrorism suggests the conversation focused on coordination in those areas. The next development to watch is whether this language translates into new legislative or executive actions.
