We aren’t giving them weapons, like in Ukraine, they are paying for them. Obviously the IDF is using them irresponsibly, but it is a military deterrent to Iran and Russia in the region. Saudi Arabia and Israel can’t directly cooperate (for domestic reasons), so they do so through the US.
If Iran stopped their nuclear program (as they did under Obama), stopped arming dissidents, and stopped supporting authoritarian Syria, it would be a lot more peaceful in the region. They can’t because the leaders of Iran are authoritarian themselves and would be ousted if there were free elections.
They need Russian support and their proxies (Hezbollah, Iraqi groups, Hamas) to keep their domestic audience happy. Let me summarize: it is complicated.

Oh that’s so much better. We’re making money on it. That’s it everyone go home, it’s all okay, someone is making a profit so it can’t be bad…
