> It is very clear that the current administration is backed into a corner and trying to make the best of the situation.

This does not seem clear at all. What has led you to think so?

There are two points here. The first is due to AIPAC. I would say the second is debatable.

A slow and steady drumbeat of stories like these over the years:

It goes on and on. Escalating conflict in the ME, such as with Israel and Lebanon, regardless of who is at fault, is not in the interest of the US. The administration feels attempts to deescalate are falling on deaf ears, but is in a politically precarious situation.
