Abstract
The main question of this article is about the prospects and elements of Israel's future relations with the United States. The United States of America and Israel have had close defense, political and economic relations for many decades. Americans consider Israel's security when making regional policy decisions, and Israel relies on America for its defense status. Although sometimes there is a difference of opinion between the officials of the two sides regarding the prioritization of security challenges and how to solve them. The United States Congress actively monitors how the executive branch of the country interacts with Israel, as several members of Congress have repeatedly criticized Barack Obama for not providing enough support to Israel. America's approach to some of the challenges in the Middle East region is of vital importance for Israel and the future of bilateral relations; including the capacity of the Islamic Republic of Iran to expand nuclear weapons, the emergence of Islamic political movements by terrorist groups in the region, the issue of the peace agreement between Israel and the Palestine Liberation Organization, which is related to many issues such as how to determine borders, Jewish settlements and  Palestinian immigrants.
