"Cuban-American and Israeli interests once found common ground in their influence over former President Donald Trump's foreign policy, but a closer look at the complex web of alliances reveals a fragile coalition on the brink of collapse. The Cuban lobby, which had long advocated for a hardline stance against the communist government in Havana, and the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), which has been a driving force in shaping US policy towards Israel, had managed to secure key concessions from Trump, including a significant shift in the US stance on Cuba and a major diplomatic push to isolate Iran. However, as the dust settles on Trump's presidency, the cracks in this unlikely alliance are beginning to show, and both groups are now facing the consequences of their actions. The Intercept takes a deep dive into the story of how these two powerful lobbies came together, and what's happening as they come apart."
