the zionist colony acts as an imperial outpost to destabilize and weaken a region that is critical for a key strategic resource (petroleum), it's a central pillar of US hegemony
well white supremacy was definitely involved in the choice of this strategy, like only anglo states are in the Five Eyes
All US client states in the region only have the individuals at the very top - kings, some of the national bourgeoisie - who are allied with the US. The overwhelming majority of the people despise the US. Not a stable situation for an ally. The client states also have their own allegiances and enemies across the region. Those entanglements make unilateral action harder. Israel is a completely foreign entity to the region without any sort of entanglements - everyone hates them. And as you have seen over the last year, these clients have to tread very carefully with their own populations in terms of being seen openly helping the US. Israel has a population that is bloodthirsty and loves it when their military causes death and destruction in the region.
besides isntreal, what's empire's strongest client state there, saud? from at least the 70s to today they've only been half under the boot compared to japan or bad korea
maybe because of the importance of the aforementioned key strategic resource, idk
