I guess the big thing it does is make Biden and his administration look better and like they are doing something when they really aren't. It gives people something to point to when protestors and activists ask for real change, and it dissipates energy from the movement. In that way, it would honestly be better if they did nothing than bad faith peace talks.

I mean, sure, if you remove all other considerations, you might be right.

But the USA is constantly sending munitions that are used to bomb fucking refugee camps and providing boots-on-the-ground assistance in Intel, training, and likely clandestine ops.

That's not peace talks are just slow and violence continues while talks are in progress. That's a red herring. It doesn't get much redder than that.

Israel does not need to bomb refugee camps for its national security. The munitions the USA constantly provides are not necessary for Israel to continue skirmishes with armed combatants. The USA could end lethal aid to Israel while engaging in peace talks and Israel would still exist as a state and it would still have the bullets it needs to kill innocent people. But billions in bombs against a guerilla enemy is ludicrous.
