As far as your assertion that "Israel owns this"? not entirely. Are you leaving Hamas and their October 7th actions out intentionally, because that was the catalyst that started this disaster, and indirectly helped trump into the WH also.
And for those who believe there was no difference between Biden/Harris and trump, their stupidity or ignorance is on full display.
The Biden administration not only paused specfic shipments of heavy munitions to Israel in 2024, but also publicly warned that the U.S. would not supply weapons for a full-scale invasion of population centers.
VP Harris campaigned on a 5 point point plan which involved an immediate cease fire, release of all the hostages, plan to rebuild Gaza, back to the negotiating table for a two state solution, etc.
What Hamas and those who discouraged people NOT to vote for VP Harris contributed to was trump back into the WH, the complete destruction of Gaza, and the end of a two state solution anytime soon, if ever. By having trump in the WH a second term, not only created the current Iran war, but in trump's first term destroyed the first the Iran nuclear agreement where UN inspectors were allowed in, and that agreement could have been the basis for a negotiated settlement with Iran to address its deficiencies before ANY bombing started.
A similar thing in 2016 gave us the supreme court we have today, and likely for decades to come unless somehow we can win the Senate in the midterms.
