U.S. and ISRAEL IMPERIALISM - FOLLOW THE MONEY

The Grayzone

The Grayzone obtained leaked audio from AIPAC's 2025 Congressional Summit in which the organization's Executive Director Elliot Brandt boasted that his group had groomed several top Donald Trump, national security officials, and is able to “access” their conversations to ensure they continue adhering to Israel’s agenda.

The obtained audio of an off-the-record session from the 2025 Congressional Summit of AIPAC, the main U.S. lobbying arm of the state of Israel. Recorded by an attendee of the panel discussion, the audio features AIPAC’s new CEO, Elliott Brandt, describing how his organization has cultivated influence with three top national security officials in the Donald Trump administration – Secretary of State Marco Rubio, National Security Director Mike Waltz, and CIA Director John Ratcliffe – and how it believes it can gain “access” to their internal discussions.

Joining Brandt on the panel was Dana Stroul, formerly the highest ranking civilian overseeing Middle East issues in the Biden administration’s Department of Defense. Stroul made it clear that defending Israel’s strategic imperatives from within the US government was a top priority, arguing that Washington should deepen its “mutually beneficial” special relationship with its “strong partner” in Tel Aviv.
