The United States has a fundamental interest in relocating its Middle East bases to the Jewish state. But does Israel?

srael’s enemies might think twice before striking a country that hosts hundreds of advanced U.S. warplanes, naval vessels and intelligence centers. But along with the advantages of building American bases in Israel come significant costs and risks.

As our neighbors in the Gulf painfully learned, the presence of such installations in their countries did not enhance their security but compromised it by drawing Iranian missile fire. The rows of U.S. fueling planes lined up wing-to-wing at Ben-Gurion International Airport present an attractive and convenient target for Iran, even more than Israel currently represents.

Most problematic for Israel, though, would be a situation in which American leaders limit our ability to defend ourselves with the claim that doing so would endanger U.S. forces stationed in the country.
