Israel primarily needs bombs, and lots of them. No other country could provide Israel with bombs and planes on the scale that the US currently supplies them. A US arms embargo would force Israel to use up its current stockpiles pretty quick, and would seriously affect their war effort.
Israel has initiated all of the recent military strikes in Iran, Syria, and Lebanon. None of Israel’s neighbors, not even Iran, want a full scale conflict. The idea that they would all suddenly attack Israel following a US arms embargo is sheer fantasy.
The US State department is imposing restrictions on Israel’s use of US weaponry? Lol, since when? They are not currently imposing any restrictions, even though they should be under the Leahy Laws, so imposing an embargo would not change Israel’s behavior in this regard whatsoever. All this talk of being “in compliance with international humanitarian law” when it comes to Israel is a total PR farce.
Your analysis is wrong in several major ways:
