"Pilgrimage of Power: Why American Presidents Have To Pay Homage to Israel, AIPAC, and the Western Wall's Influence on Middle East Politics"
Book Description:
For decades, U.S. presidents have made a symbolic pilgrimage to Israel, standing before the ancient stones of the Western Wall and speaking at AIPAC’s influential conferences. But why has this become a diplomatic ritual? What drives these leaders to demonstrate their support for Israel through such powerful gestures, and how does this influence U.S. foreign policy in the Middle East?
Pilgrimage of Power uncovers the intricate dynamics behind these high-profile visits and delves into the enduring U.S.-Israel relationship. From the historical roots of the alliance to the strategic roles of AIPAC and evangelical Christian support, this book explores the political, religious, and strategic factors that shape U.S. engagement with Israel. Through key moments such as the Abraham Accords and major military agreements, the book reveals how this special relationship affects the geopolitical balance of the Middle East.
