Atsconceptions surround the American-Israeli arms relation. As the United States seeks to bridge negotiating gaps between Israel and Arab states, some commentators and Arab leaders maintain that American leverage should be used to force Israeli concessions. In arguing this course of action, they assume that such leverage would be sufficient to obtain concessions. They further maintain that American unwillingness to exert such leverage stems primarily from domestic political constraints.1 Upon close examination the question of leverage is more complicated. This inquiry seeks to determine the extent and efficacy of past American leverage against Israel. It then suggests a modest role for the arms relation in the Carter Administration's attempts to modulate Israeli policy. Despite significant movement toward peace at the Camp David summit, discussion of American leverage is appropriate given the formidable negotiating tasks that lie ahead in implementing the Framework for Peace in the Middle East and constructing treaties with remaining Arab states
