Israel is surrounded by enemies looking to take advantage of a moment of Israeli vulnerability. Simply moving aircraft carriers gives those enemies pause.
Getting involved in this way prevents conflicts from spiraling.
That tends to happen when you displace a bunch of people from where they live and say this is mine now.
You're not at all wrong my friend. The US should have moved the carriers there, but they should not have allowed this situation to develop as it has in the first place.
