So I see the Arab state of today are a mere extension of Israel, they need to go and the order needs to be re-established.
This is why your judgement of the whole situation is wrong. The Arab states are not an extension of Israel. They are independent states that try to look after their own interests, which is how states should act.
For the wealthy Arab states, Israel is a more natural ally than the Palestinians, because Israel is much more alike them. They can cooperate with Israel in technology, defence, economy, tourism, etc., while the likes of Hamas or any Iranian-associated militias are just a potential threat to their security and wealth.
The problem of Arab leaders is that their people support Palestine, so they have to juggle between their countries’ interests (pro Israel) and their people’s desires (pro Palestine).
What makes the matter worse is that the Israelis are extremely brutal and their constant bombing of Gaza makes the position of Arab leaders more difficult.
But the reality is that the Arab leaders have no better choice than the status quo which is siding with the Americans and the Israelis and hoping that the Iranian regime will crack first under the weight of sanctions and economic problems. If the Iranian regime falls, then it should be possible to defeat all the regional militias that are now supported and financed by Tehran and move towards a more secure and prosperous Middle East. There is no good alternative to that.
