The fuck would Israel do if the us said "ya we aren't sending you bombs for the next little while"
Go ask Russia? What does Israel provide to the US that they have biden by the balls?
The sale of arms to Israel is a huge stimulus to the American economy. Suddenly cutting that spending would be a blow to the US's economy, which might be part of why it is unappetizing in an election year.
Now, that isn't to say that the US govt couldn't simply redirect that money into other forms of economic stimulus. But that's more difficult, so that's my answer to your second question.

Conspiracy time! Epstein was an Israeli plant to get information to blackmail politicians with. His career doesn't make any sense unless there's outside influence. Maxwell has some ties to mossad, but it's shaky at best, and Israel is really small. It's fairly easy to have relationships with people employed by any organization because of how small it is
