多年来，以色列一直与美国保持着密切互动，不断发展的美以特殊关系不仅反映出美国与以色列在战略目标和发展利益方面的高度契合，还深刻地影响着中东地区国际力量的对比和变化。作为国家制定内外政策的重要智力支持机构，美国智库对以色列的持续关注和深入研究在一定程度上构成了美国制定对以政策及中东政策的基础和前提。本文将以兰德公司、布鲁金斯学会和对外关系委员会为样本，梳理这三家美国主流智库开展的对以研究，主要包括对以研究机构及人员，对以研究成果分类概述，并在此基础上总结和归纳已有研究中的特点与不足，以期为相关部门和专业研究者进一步了解以色列、把握美以关系发展走向提供参考。
Over the years，Israel has maintained close interaction with the United States. The growing special relationship between the United States and Israel not only reflects the high accordance between the United States and Israel in terms of strategic objectives and development interests，but also profoundly affects the contrast and changes of international forces in the Middle East. As an important intellectual support institution for the country’s domestic and foreign policy formulation，the continuous attention and in-depth research of the US think tank on Israel，to a certain extent，constitute the basis and premise for the US to formulate its policy on Israel and the Middle East. This paper will take the RAND Corporation，the Brookings Institution and the Council Foreign Relations as samples to sort out the main institutions，personnel and achievements of the above three major US think tanks in their studies on Israel，and on this basis，summarize the characteristics and shortcomings of existing studies，with a view to providing reference for relevant departments or professional researchers to further understand Israel and grasp the development trend of US Israel-relations in a timely manner.
