UK Ambassador Says US Special Relationship Now Points to Israel

The UK ambassador to the US believes Israel holds the special relationship with the United States, not the UK.

The ambassador advised the prime minister to not ignore the changing US-UK relationship and stated that the partnership is at the end of an era and will need to change. He described the term as nostalgic and burdened, noting that the UK and US share deep history and close economies while doing things no other two countries do.

What to watch next is how both governments adjust their policies and public language to reflect this declared shift in the transatlantic alignment.
