Will King Charles III Change Course on Israel?

individual Israelis, including 
its 2 million Arab citizens. 
Like many other nation 
states, it merely formalizes 
symbols of its people — in 
this case the Jewish people 
— such as the flag, national 
anthem and holidays.
Note, too, that while the 
nation-state law declares 
Hebrew to be the national 
language, this is not different 
than in the United States, in 
which English is the mother 
tongue. Nor does Israel’s 
nation-state law establish 
any official religion — 
unlike some seven European 
countries that declare state 
religions in their very 
constitutions.
All of this is to point out 
that Israel can be a proud 
nation of the Jewish people 
while still cherishing and 
implementing one of the 
most diverse and freest 
democracies on Earth. In 
fact, some would argue 
that it is precisely Jewish 

values that fortify and help 
guarantee Israel’s robust 
democracy.
In short, no matter what 
slanderous accusations 
Israel’s enemies employ, 
the Jewish state objectively 
remains one of the strongest 
and most successful 
democracies on Earth. Tiny 
Israel provides political 
freedoms and economic 
opportunities unmatched by 
the overwhelming majority 
of the world’s nations.
Note finally the suffering 
and political plight of the 
Palestinians has little to do 
with Israel and is, in fact, 
almost entirely the result of 
authoritarian governance 
by its terrorist dictatorial 
regimes and their obstinate 
refusal to make peace.

East (FLAME), which publishes edu-

misperceptions about Israel and its 

relationship to the United States.

compelling case for keeping 
the system as it is and 
convince all four nations 
of the United Kingdom 
why, even in 2022, there 
is still a need for a royal 
sovereign. Will he manage 
to preserve the status of 
the House of Windsor by 
dealing with burning issues 
or by leveraging his clout to 
help resolve international 
conflicts? Only time will 
tell.
Charles assumes not just 
his mother’s crown but 
also has to step into her 
massive shoes after she had 
successfully become the 
linchpin that glued together 

an entire kingdom and the 
British commonwealth, 
as well as her own family. 
Expectations are sky-high 
and he will have to deal 
with a new world that is 
now represented by Prince 
William and his wife Kate. 
He will have to make his 
own unique imprint in this 
new world, and he could 
start doing so by making a 
royal visit to Israel.
