Because Israel will blackmail the USA and expand their genocide even more.

The American folding comes in the wake of Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich's threat to collapse the Palestinian economy, as revealed in Israel Hayom

And now these fascists will use that as a threat to extort the USA at every step. They must be completely cut off from US aid.
