What power do you think he has? You do realize that the Israelis do not need to rely on us for military aid, correct? You also do realize that there are a couple other world powers who are not allied with the US who would be very happy to cozy up to Israel which means that they would have much more power and influence in the Middle East because at that point it would be Israel and Iran.

I think you must be at least somewhat naive about just how right wing and authoritarian the Israeli government is.

If the US has no influence over Israel in regards to this conflict than that sounds like a critical policy failure and a huge geopolitical risk.

Edit: I'm curious what potential Israel allies you speak of that are not aligned with the US? Our own allies are distancing themselves from this clusterfuck.
