I know what Israel gains from the United States in terms of billions of dollars worth of lethal weaponry and political cover. I wonder what the United States gains from Israel.

As noted many times earlier, Egypt is not lifting a finger to help the Palestinians in Gaza and are unwilling to allow them to enter Egypt already has a problem with Islamic terrorism with a group allied with Hamas. It views allowing Palestinians to enter Egypt from Gaza will simply import more terrorism.
Egypt is now building an additional wall and buffer zone to make sure the Palestinian terrorists stay out. If anyone thinks that Egypt is going to support the Palestinians in Gaza in any meaning way in terms of using Egyptian money to send supplies or allowing meaningful numbers of Palestinians in Gaza to seek temporary refuge in Sinai then they are delusional. Nearly every other country in the region which has experienced terror and revolts when they allowed the entry of Palestinians. Egypt has no plans to make the same mistake.

Egypt has created quite the quagmire for themselves. They want to make illicit money from all the bribes officials are paid to ignore the smuggling of weapons, militants and other supplies into Gaza; while at the same time they don't want any of the Palestinians allowed into Egypt from Gaza to escape the chaos they created.

Egypt bears massive responsibility for the ongoing crisis. To prevent another October 7, this will require Israel to maintain control of the Rafah crossing
