Not to be a downer, but if the US fell, do you really think there would no longer be oil or other interests in the Middle East? Do you think Israel would simply give up and actually keep a peace treaty just because the American government fell?
I doubt it. If the US were to collapse, the rich who survive would move to other countries, as would the majority of people involved in the military industrial complex. And Israel and others would simply end up buying the same tech from new countries.
Those who profit off the war would simply pay for weapons and propaganda from new nations; the demand would not fall and the supply would rise to meet it. The players might have different names, but I think the wars would go on just the same.

The situation is eerily similar to that of the Crusader States and the Latin Empire in surprise surprise the “Holy Land”.
Not to mention those wars also came as a general result of prosperity and wealth in Christian kingdoms that fought and pushed back the Islamic states.
Israel has a lot in common with the Latin Empire really. Fully supported by a foreign, far away power with strategic interests in the region.
