Trump administration halts Harvard's ability to enroll international students

You are attributing too much power to the Israeli. Trump signed a ceasefire with Houthi last week that doesn't protects Israel: that is, the US stops bombing them as long as they don't attack US ships, and attacks against Israel aren't a casus belli for the US anymore.

The Republican party is strongly favorable to Israel, but since Netanyahou pissed Trump, they don't get special treatment anymore, that's what happen when your foreign policy depends on the mood of a single guy. The old alliance and ideological alignment can mean nothing overnight just because the supreme leader said so.

I am not sure why you think overseas policy going against Israel’s wishes directly means Israel doesn’t have influence in the United States.

I find it awkward you think that Israel is not giving special treatment to the US if the US does not do something in favor of Israel in foreign affairs. Awkward.

More awkward is that you think the US is not protecting Israel if it has a ceasefire with Houthis.

There's nothing “awkward”, and this phrasing doesn't really suggest that you are willing to discuss the topic in good faith.
