They should not control Congress, The President and Congress should not be able to tell them to stand down as they are getting shelled with missiles (as happened during the Gulf war under Bush.)

I personally think that this sets both Israel and Congress free: Israel is free to make peace with Syria (which Congress prevented for years!) Congress is free to not spend money on defending Israel when they are perfectly capable of defending themselves.

President Trump also said this, in the same context!

‘Got support from Israel’ He also said that people tend to forget how brutal the October 7 attack by Hamas on Israel was, adding that it was “truly horrible” Describing Israel as “amazing”, Trump said that he has “good support” from the country, adding that nobody has done more for Israel than he has. Trump referred to the US airstrikes on Iran’s major nuclear facilities during which US B-2 Spirit stealth bombers struck the fortified premises. “So, Israel is amazing, because, you know, I have good support from Israel. I have. Look, nobody has done more for Israel than I have, including the recent attacks with Iran, wiping that thing out."
