Why does the U.S. military think they need to get involved in every conflict in the world?
$$$$$$
How are the defense contractors, and politicians going to get PAID if we aren’t constantly at war somewhere.
Israel is surrounded by enemies looking to take advantage of a moment of Israeli vulnerability. Simply moving aircraft carriers gives those enemies pause.
Getting involved in this way prevents conflicts from spiraling.
That tends to happen when you displace a bunch of people from where they live and say this is mine now.
Because it’s presumably cheaper to park an aircraft carrier in the area than to take the economic impact at home that an escalation would lead to (due to rising oil prices etc.)

Because were there not an is real they’d have to invent one?

Nobody can escalate this conflict except me and my little brother Israel.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
The United States has deployed a second aircraft carrier to the Mediterranean “to deter hostile actions against Israel or any efforts toward widening this war”, as residents of Gaza City fled south to escape an imminent Israeli ground attack in response to a murderous rampage by Hamas last weekend.
The US defence secretary, Lloyd Austin, said late on Saturday that the presence of the USS Eisenhower and its affiliated warships in the eastern Mediterranean signalled Washington’s “ironclad commitment to Israel’s security and our resolve to deter any state or non-state actor seeking to escalate this war”.
The Israel Defence Forces (IDF) said on Sunday that Ali Qadi, a commander in Hamas’s elite Nukhba unit who oversaw the attack on Kibbutz Nirim, was killed in a strike on the southern town of Khan Younis.
Blinken said he was also trying to ensure the conflict did not spread, on a day when Iran’s foreign minister warned that Israel would suffer an earthquake if his country’s ally, the Hezbollah movement in Lebanon, became involved.
The US president, Joe Biden, spoke to the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, on the phone on Saturday and “affirmed his support for all efforts to protect civilians”, the White House said in a statement, which did not specifically mention Gaza.
“President Biden discussed with prime minister Netanyahu US coordination with the United Nations, Egypt, Jordan, Israel and others in the region to ensure innocent civilians have access to water, food and medical care,” the White House said.
