I mean it also shows that the Biden approach to getting a ceasefire is asking Netanyahu "please stop escalating the situation over there and start negotiating" and then getting promptly ignored.
The next step, where we stop supporting Israel militarily, is a broken alliance. Dang straight we should be doing everything we can to avoid that. It would be a disaster both home and abroad.
Yes, it’s the security guard paradox. The only way to prove it is to break ties with Israel and hope that our intelligence can prevent attacks without any real assistance in the region. No sane administration wants to take that chance, but because we haven’t had major terror attacks for two decades the public doesn’t think the added intelligence is worth anything.
We heard multiple times during the trump administration how Trump told Putin about all the stuff he was getting from Israel. So sure we don't know how much comes in from them but it's enough and good enough that Trump was telling his daddy about it.
