I can agree with this statement. If anything Israel does whatever the US tells it to do and is completely dependent on US support. client-state sounds like a reasonable description of the current reality.

It could be either way around, really. On the one hand, Israel has no military force apart from what the US gives it. On the other hand, Israel has the Epstein tapes (not the files) so it might be rational for a majority of US politicians to just do whatever it asks for.
