The US’s motivations are to maximize its power and profits, to think it is to keep the peace is naive. There are other, more economically valuable regions with conflicts in the world whose situations have higher probability of clean resolution than the Palestine conflict, so the US will focus on those instead until it is forced not to.
Anyway, there is no resolution to Israel/Palestine that won’t involve the probable demise of one of the two’s futures. Bloods being spilled and it will continue to be spilled.
Giving weapons to Ukraine wasn’t about helping Ukraine; it was about opposing Russia.
Israel is a strategic ally in the Middle East that also happens to have many high profile supporters in the US. There’s likely enormous pressure from within to do just about nothing and just let it play out.
Peace, unfortunately, is a conveniently flexible concept employed to conceal one’s motives and justify frivolous wars.
I feel this is where the world is seeing the failure of US.
When US have Ukraine weapons to defend themselves, we were the good guys.
When US gives Israel the weapons to attack and airbomb Palestinians in daylight it puts US in a very bad light.
US should be the ones enforcing a cease fire. Where no side gets to airbomb each other.
Every life is valuable. Israelis or Palestinians.
The failure of US policy is to be the gatekeeper of world peace. We have the largest army by far. We spend an obscene amount of our taxes on defense.
Yet we failed to keep peace.

Israel is a close military ally and Palestine is... not.
There are no true neutral countries in the world. Everyone has allies who they treat differently than enemies.
There are no good guys or bad guys. There are only countries which do good and bad things.
Whether its in Palestine or Congo or China or Ukraine, the most even a superpower can do is leverage power to reduce killing and fatalities.
