===Recognition of Israel===
Truman usually followed the advice of the State Department in national security matters, largely ignoring the Pentagon and Congress. [[Image:Israel48.jpg|thumb|400px|left]] In the case of recognition of the independent state of [[Israel]] in 1948, however, he overruled the urgent pleas of the State Department and immediately recognized Israel. State had warned that recognition would anger the Arabs in the Middle East; Truman, however, was more responsive to domestic politics, where support for Israel was widespread.<ref>Michael T.
