We have the CIA. We do not need a cut out to influence Egypt. And arranging the entire region to the benefit of a genocidal regime is going to cause a lot of problems as the years go on. We should cut them loose.
Edit to add - Intelligence flowing to Israel first is also a problem. We’ve caught Israel lying about intelligence stuff multiple times since October. I guarantee you we can get better quality intelligence by developing our own sources.

The CIA doesn’t operate in a vacuum. We’ve got the Five Eyes Intelligence Alliance throughout the western world. The CIA routinely collaborates with Mossad. And there have been numerous partnerships with the FSB and MSS during the Bush/Obama Eras of the War on Terror.

We’ve caught Israeli spies in the US going back to the 1950s. We still work with them regularly.

That makes Israel less critical, not more.
