Is the US pushing for Israel to conquer Gaza so that they can ultimately put Abbas and the PLO in charge there?

Seems like the most likely explanation, what am I missing?

Because Iran directed the Hamas attack to fuck up the peace agreement between Israel and Saudi which is sponsored by the U.S. Aaaand I wouldn't be surprised at all if also the Russians provided a helping hand.. You know.. Instructions, intelligence, etc. Putin can only earn from that.

As a global hegemonic power, the United States has no choice but to safeguard its interests and influence in the Middle East.

For the United States, there is the risk that a wider conflict could lead to reprisals by terror groups of Iran-backed militias against its remaining troops in Iraq and Syria, where they are engaged in missions to counter ISIS. A fearsome Israeli ground offensive in Gaza would also narrow the diplomatic room that key Arab states such as Saudi Arabia and Egypt have to de-escalate the situation. Saudi Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman for instance called for the “immediate lifting of the siege on Gaza” when he met Blinken on Sunday and rejected the “targeting of civilians, the destruction of critical infrastructure, and the disruption of essential services.”
