I think people fail to realise that USA == Israel. Even Biden said when he was younger that if Israel wasn't there the USA would have to have some other entity there to keep the middle east fractured. The Anglo-Saxons don't want a powerful Arab world it's a 500-year old rivalry.

“She was sort of saying, with certain allies, we can’t play bad cop,” an aid official who attended the 29 August meeting said, adding that Grande made it clear Israel is part of a “tight circle of very few allies” that Washington “will not oppose, nor will it hold anything back that they want.”

It says "tight circle of very few allies" but I'm pretty sure even Britain wouldn't get away with destroying the US's international reputation and drawing it in a pointless conflict like Israel is currently doing.
