It's not about ownership, it's about what Israel's objectives are for securing themselves in the Middle East.
I would say that Israel is an excellent tool for keeping Arab States from going fucking ballistic and blowing themselves up, and at least Israel could be useful in countering Pan-Arabism Socialism, but for the most part it's just Israel being able to pressure American politicians in getting both "Liberal" and "Conservative" governments in Israel some amount of power or security.
Being a prosperous, competent, and militarily excellent state in the Arab world is... uh... a rare commodity that each faction wants to exploit for their own reasons, but typically Israel tends to benefit from most of the exchanges despite even American Security state efforts.
Fundamentally, this is because Israel has been acting like Trump since 1949: they don't give a shit about what anyone else thinks, they're doing whatever they are going to do for the best interests of Israel first. Even in defiance or outrage of Internationalist American or European jews.
Ok, and? Who gives a shit. Let them fight it out among themselves and then we buy oil from the one who wins. All our intervention has done is drag a conflict that would've ended decades ago out into the current day.
