It centralizes a focus and creates a balance of power. The threat of their nuclear weapons often keeps nations in check where they otherwise might be more directly attacking Israel. By focusing on Israel, much of our influence elsewhere is less effectively followed...
I can list more, but there are benefits to the US for Israel to be there as it is. If you notice we have never truly offered an effective peace plan to those nations, it isn't because we couldn't, it's because the status quo "benefits" us more according to those making those decisions.
Oh, so it's a "wag the dog" scenario. Why didn't you just say so?
