For most of the past half-century, American policy in the Middle East hasbeen in the thrall of delusions about who our foes are and what catalyzesthem, and about why our true friend in the region, Israel, must survive andthrive. In The Battle for the Jewish State, former Trump national-securityofficial Victoria Coates provides a powerful antidote to our government'swillful blindness. Israel is an essential ally for whom peace and prosperityare not merely its needs but also vital American interests. Its annihilationistenemies - our enemies - must be defeated, not accommodated, for thesake of both regional stability and U.S. national defense. --Andrew C. McCarthyBestselling author, National Review contributing editor, and former federalprosecutor.

In The Battle for the Jewish State , Victoria lays bare the truth that so many have ignored or denied for too long: the war on Israel is not a distant conflict but a direct attack on America's interests, and indeed on our way of life. Defending Israel is not only a matter of supporting a key ally, although it most certainly is. Challenging hatred of Jews and the Jewish state is not just a vital task for our domestic political life, although it most certainly is. The challenge is far more direct and dire. The enemies of Israel are the enemies of America, they are on the march, and their hatred--and their goals--know no bounds or borders. --Senator Ted Cruz Victoria Coates brings her keen insight into the geopolitics of the Middle East to The Battle for the Jewish State, laying out for the American people why the U.S. alliance with Israel is vital to their national security.

With her background working on this issue from the Senate, White House and Department of Energy she leads the reader deftly through complex issues from missile defense to global energy markets to explain what has happened since the October 7, 2023 terrorist attack on Israel--and what should come next. --Governor/Secretary Rick Perry In The Battle for the Jewish State, Victoria Coates brings both academic rigor and storytelling expertise to bring the story of U.S. policy towards Israel to life. Exhorting the reader not to remain mired in the failed, bipartisan "peace process" of the past, she charts a hopeful course forward if the next American president can build on the innovative--even unconventional--successes of President Trump's first term, in which Coates participated directly. Despite the chaos and violence in the Middle East now, progress that can finally win this conflict for Israel and enhance the security of the American people is possible if the U.S. and Israel stand firmly together.
