In this study, Zach Levey provides a comprehensive analysis of the
development of Israel's foreign policy during the critical years of
the 1950s, focusing particularly on relations between the Jewish
state and the three Western powers involved in the Middle East arms
race--the United States, Great Britain, and France. Drawing
extensively on recently declassified archival materials, Levey
challenges traditional accounts of the nature and success of
Israel's policy goals. By 1950 Israel's primary foreign policy
objective was the creation of a bilateral strategic relationship
with the United States. The country's leaders failed to achieve
that goal, though, even after the Suez-Sinai campaigns of 1956.
According to Levey, it was this failure that motivated Israel to
cultivate ties with the West's other leading powers, France and
Britain. But cooperation with these countries was not the outgrowth
of a gradually developing strategic understanding with either one,
he argues. Instead, Israel viewed its French and British
connections only as temporary substitutes for the desired eventual
arrangement with the United States.
