Biden has optically fumbled, and his polling has shown deep disapproval. Despite hints and a feeling that he and the US will perform a more measured approach, following public pushback. I don't see the US doing the right thing, but more… Oversight and perhaps moderation.
Maybe it's just me but I'm not seeing much of a difference in attitude compared to when agent orange was in charge and moved the embassy to Jerusalem. Ok Biden isn't anywhere near as batshit but he's still believing all the bs Israel is telling him anyway.
Israel has been at the center of the U.S. plan to keep middle east power dynamics at least somewhat under U.S. influence. Even leaders who have no strong allegiance to a Jewish heritage still value having a western allegiant state in the center of it all.
It's really hard to predict what would happen if Israel ever lost the backing of the U.S. and European nations. I think that's the main reason for Biden continuing the legacy of emphatically supporting Israel. As horrific as the action of the IDF are, things could get a lot worse if broader tensions escalated to armed conflicts.

Doubt he believes it. There's money and quiet conversation happening. People are never as dumb as we think they are
