Other way around, they're basically a US satellite state if anything. Biden said it himself, "if there wasn't an Israel we would have to invent one."

Here's a graph showing the countries that voted most closely in line with the US in the UN across the past couple decades:

The three dots behind Israel are former US Pacific Island territories that are currently US puppet states and officially give away much of their sovereignty to America under COFA. If you exclude those three, Israel aligns itself with America miles ahead of any other country.

But during some of those conversations, managers have told staffers they should not expect to influence U.S. policy on Israel-Palestine regardless of their national security chops, according to five current and one recently departed State Department officials who talked to HuffPost.

Keep in mind, that Biden has asked for a humanitarian cease fire in Gaza. This information is like fresh of last night, so I don't expect news agencies to catch up fast.

It looks like Biden is lagging behind public opinion on this one, but he is turning course.

What that means going forward will depend on how much aid is let in Gaza by Israel.
