Americans Rush to Learn Hebrew Ahead of Expected Israeli Takeover

ree

Americans across the country have begun enrolling in Hebrew language courses in record numbers, driven by concerns that Israel will soon assume greater control over global affairs and require the language for professional advancement.


The trend emerged following a recent meeting between President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at Mar-a-Lago, where Trump expressed strong support for Netanyahu's legal situation and signaled backing for potential new military actions against Iran.


During the meeting, Trump reiterated his call for a pardon of Netanyahu in his ongoing corruption trial and stated he would support Israeli strikes if Iran continues rebuilding its ballistic missile program or nuclear capabilities.


Experts note that the close alignment between the two leaders has fueled speculation about expanded Israeli influence in international decisions, prompting many to view Hebrew proficiency as essential for future job security.

"I started Duolingo Hebrew immediately after that meeting," said Mark Thompson, a software engineer from California. "If Israel is calling the shots on everything from tech deals to foreign policy, I need to be ready to communicate directly."


Thompson added that several colleagues in his firm have done the same, fearing that English alone will no longer suffice in key industries.


Enrollment data from language platforms shows a sharp increase in Hebrew lessons, with some apps reporting overloads from new users.


"Clients are asking about Hebrew because they see Israel's role growing in security, technology, and even economic partnerships," said a career counselor in New York. "It's about staying ahead in a world where those connections matter more than ever."


Trump, speaking alongside Netanyahu, claimed a pardon for the prime minister was imminent and warned Iran against any military rebuild.


Netanyahu praised the partnership and highlighted shared goals on regional stability.

Observers point out that the public displays of unity have led many Americans to conclude that adapting to potential changes, including language requirements, is necessary to remain competitive.

Universities report rising interest in Hebrew programs, with some departments expanding classes to meet demand.


"Everyone knows Israel's influence is expanding," said one college student at the University of Pittsburgh. "Learning Hebrew now means I'll have options later when decisions come from there."
