    The US can’t afford to lose Israel as an ally so it needs to be subtle.

    Israel is not in any way a critical US ally. Their influence in the region is basically non-existent and their inclusion in our various Middle Eastern adventures would do more harm than good so they’re never asked. They’re a client state heavily dependent on US arms and diplomatic protection, not some highly desirable ally we need to carefully court.

      This is not true. Israel is most certainly America’s crucial ally. Are American politicians funneling money into Israel (more so than any other country in history even ukraine) just for fun?
