Honestly, I do think Biden could organize things to effectively cut off – or at least threaten to cut off – military aid. And he does have control over the state department. He could prevent the veto of the UN resolution. Maybe he’s threatening either of both of these things behind closed doors, but (a) I doubt it and (b) even if we assume he is, behind closed doors won’t win him the election; if he doesn’t win the election it does not matter what other progress he makes towards lasting peace in the area because Trump has never seen a Muslim he doesn’t want dead. And if he did it openly, Trump would still win because failing to support Israel also loses him the election from a different flank – and again, Trump is pro-genocide of Arabs.
There’s no way out here. Even if he somehow pulls off a full victory, manages to diplomatically negotiate peace, and sets the foundations for prosperity in the region – again, hard to believe that happening – the damage done is probably already too great.
