Iraq was probably against Israel's interests. (Israel hates Iran, Iraq hated Iran. US taking out Iraq made Iran stronger which made Iran more threatening to Israel)

We did fund Iraq under Saddam during the Iraq-Iran war. By the 2000s, Israel absolutely wanted us to attack Iraq, for example https://www.cbsnews.com/news/israel-to-us-dont-delay-iraq-at...
Actually, they did not want US to attack Iraq:

He didn't say not to attack. It says in there that he told Bush that Iraq was a threat, but that he shouldn't occupy Iraq or try to build a democracy there because it won't work. The rest of the article is 2007 hindsight.
He would have never been there if not for the USA in the first place...
