Israel and its US lobby strongly support a “No Daylight Policy.” The characteristics of such a policy are that “the U.S. and Israel can disagree, but not openly” since open disagreement “encourages common enemies” and “renders Israel vulnerable.”
In practice, such a policy mainly benefits Israel, which can leverage the appearance of unconditional U.S. support in its own relations with other countries. Former US President Obama is said to have “violated” policy.
