Will King Charles III Change Course on Israel?

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.
James Sinkinson is president of

East (FLAME), which publishes edu-
cational messages to correct lies and
misperceptions about Israel and its
relationship to the United States.

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.
