As Americans mark Independence Day, Gil Troy is joined by Dr. Anat Wilf for a special July 4th edition of the JPPI Podcast. Together, they examine the growing claims of a rupture in U.S.-Israel relations, asking whether recent political tensions represent a genuine strategic break or simply another chapter in a relationship that has weathered far greater storms. Drawing on history, diplomacy, and Zionist thought, they explore the deeper foundations of the alliance and what they reveal about its future. In the second half of the episode, Gil reflects on his new e-book, 250 Reasons to Be Grateful to America, celebrating the ideals, institutions, and enduring values that continue to shape the American experiment—even in an era of polarization and uncertainty.
