The only people that can stop Israel is Israel.  We can sanction, we can play diplomate, we can voice our concerns at the UN but it really all comes down to Israel.  Anyone believing that the US is going to be the savior of anyone needs to read history.  The US can barely be the savior within their own country let alone outside of their boarders.  What will stop Israel is a concerted effort by the world but the world is divided and thus Israel will always have the green light as long as they do not get overboard with their efforts. The Palestinians have to pretty much pull a Gandhi in order to get the world on their side and even then it might not be enough.

The United States can greatly reduce Israels effectiveness. 80% of Israel's arms come from the US. If the US cuts Israel off it would greatly hamper their military efforts because they'd run out munitions. Biden has circumvented Congress twice since the start of the latest conflict to approval arms sales to Israel. This isn't even including the billions of dollars of aid the US provides to Israel in general. 

Naw, the US cannot do anything because the US is divided.  That is what I am trying to tell you.  Also Biden did not circumvent congress, its within his power as president, he does not need congress approval.  You believe the US is going to jump in and save the Palestinians but look at the US history in the region and you see that looking for them to do anything that will be effective is asking for a miracle.  Neither Dems nor GOP are concerted on any one effort and if you know US politics you know when both parties do not agree with a majority then nothing gets done.

So no, the US no matter who is in the president seat is going to do nothing.  If anything they will still do more for Israel then they will ever do for the Palestinians unless by some miracle you get someone in the president seat that is part of neither popular candidates.
