    Because Israel is ultimately a problem created by western nations like the UK and US, have more similar culture to the west and are their strategic partner for the area whereas the arab nations are traditionally backed by Russia. So they basically HAVE to give them unconditional support to Israel or lose their influence on the region.

      I’ve done some reading and listening since I asked this question and I think that this is the correct answer.

      They’re the only non-muslim country in the middle-east, and therefore our closest ideological partner, and therefore our best strategic partner.
