Israel is a vassal of the USA. It allows the US to have a military presence there, on the door of the middle east where it can challenge its enemies and see about oil politics.
The biggest perk is the control of the eastern Mediterranean Sea with its fleet. This is to fight Russian's fleet there.
The same goes with Taiwan and China. USA cares for Tawai because it's a strategic lock for China's fleet.
