Is Bidens Israel policy compromising the USs strategic interests?

As Israel continues its indiscriminate bombardment of Gaza, causing thousands of civilian deaths, it has continued to enjoy unconditional military and political backing from the United States. Last week, as the US vetoed yet another resolution at the UN calling for a ceasefire, it found itself almost completely isolated on the world stage.\n\nA few days ago, President Joe Biden said that Israel risks losing international support if it continued to bomb Gaza indiscriminately. Does this suggest the US is thinking of recalibrating its support?\n\nWhat has been the nature of the US\u2019s historical backing of Israel? Is the Biden administration\u2019s Middle-East policy venturing into uncharted territory? With the US launching a ten-nation force to counter attacks by Yemen\u2019s Houthi rebels in the Red Sea, is it at risk of getting dragged into a wider regional war?
