Prof. Keylor Comments on US-Israel Relations
Historian and international relations expert Prof. William Keylor of the Frederick S. Pardee School of Global Studies at Boston University was on Arise News on October 30, 2014, discussing the stressed state of relations between the United States and Israel.
He commented that these relations are now at a “low point” but are not beyond the point of repair. He called the current state of relations between the two countries a “mini crisis” and a “diplomatic crisis.” Prof. Keylor added that the icy relationship today “is a reflection of the growing frustration in Washington with the policies that Mr. Netanyahu is conducting, particularly with regard to the construction of settlements in East Jerusalem.”
