That's really the crux. The carrier group the US sent to the Mediterranean immediately after the Oct 7 attack was the key support from the US for Israel, not a billion in aid here or there. The carriers signaled to Iran, Hezbollah, potentially also to Turkey and Egypt, that they shouldn't even think of escalating this conflict into a full-blown war on Israel.

Additionally, the rulers in the Gulf states and Egypt don't actually have any interest in creating a revolutionary or jihadist momentum across the Middle East. Could backfire on themselves far too easily.

if Israel/Netanyahu werent banking on the US' unwavering support they'd act differently. will we cut our aid? i'd bet never. is the dynamic of the political relationship changing? I think so. I know the US gets away with everything because we are the bullies of the world but realistically how long can we syndicate Israel's psychopathic war and not face consequences ourselves? not long. once the price becomes too high, we will back off. no one is supporting Israel's war outside of the US and it seems that the relationship once built on "shared values" is starting to crack

Israel estimates the war will last "more than a few months"...
Maybe there's a potential leverage effect, where, once the violences/bombings are becoming a really unacceptable reality for americans, all medias will start to put the burden on personalities/entities as being reponsible, typically: Netanyahu/Likud.

Because clearing out the West Bank will take another 2-3 months after Gaza is secured
