A senior Israeli government source said Wednesday that "Israel has received almost everything it asked for," in a meeting between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and US Secretary of State Mike Pompeo.
"Israel had eight requests, and seven were granted," the source said. "The only issue that is still under discussion is the sale of aircraft to Croatia."
"The prime minister left the meeting with the impression that Israel has great influence in certain areas, and that Israel and the US are advancing various ideas with respect to Syria that will help Israel."

And what did we get in return? Nothing of importance I can think of, although Secretary Pompeo may believe otherwise.
There are some who maintain that Israel is BAD for the US. Here is one discussion of why:

You may not agree with Mr. Giraldi, but in every foreign policy decision we need to ask the question "who benefits?" And I don't see how the USA benefits from the continuing assault on Syria.
