This doesn't track because the USA has bases all around the ME, and supplies Israel's "competition" like KSA and Egypt with arms.

It is much more complicated.

I don't think the situation is particularly inscrutable. Israel receives a greater degree of US support and benefits from it to a greater degree. Other ME states are aligned with the US out of convenience, the sale of western weapons plays a part in that.
