Honestly, it sounds like more and more Israel and the other allies we have in the Middle East are just concerned that America
is shifting away from the Middle East and into Asia to seek a better future and investment for itself than their region can provide.
More and more as our shift to electric grows, the Suez Canal basically gets less and less important because the main import/export there by far is oil. Meanwhile, where are the electric powerhouses located that will be providing future energy resources? Asia and the Pacific.
I think Israel is concerned that this is basically the last chance they have from America to attack and wage war with Iran. I'm pretty certain that's what they're getting us to try and do.
It just sounds like we're nearly out of there with the drama and this is the last thing keeping us (see bolded highlights). At this point I think we're ok with simply leaving a small footprint in the region in order not to surrender a power vacuum.
If this were 20 years ago America absolutely would've bossed up and gone in trying to level Iran if we thought there was something more beneficial in the region. As time went on it's become clear to us it's bullshyt. It's a dang shame that conflict was basically for naught or all but to come to this conclusion.
We're not focused on enforcing this region as much anymore because we now know it'll be more trouble than it's worth. We're not going to get ourselves into another expensive (due to loss of American lives and financially) conflict in the region imo. This is most likely the support Israel will get from us: we'll help defend and that's it.
Israel wants us to bomb Iran like Russia and Ukraine, but most likely the only offense Biden and company will provide are sanctions. Unfortunately, if this conflict keeps siphoning money from us and Americans start threatening a new change in leadership, you'll see far less support than this.

Even the bills signed giving money to Ukraine and Israel have actually been lopsided in Ukraine's favor. I think this analysis isn't too far off, we're more concerned with China and Russia now as they have bigger impact in Asia.
If Russia wants to get involved in this expensive ass mess, I don't think those running America see that as much of a bad thing as the general public is making it out to be.
bring back TRUMP.
