The Israeli-Palestine conflict is far from the #1 priority of things US voters consider when voting in presidential elections.

Also, winning by one of the narrowest margins in US election history, and with less than 50% of the popular vote is hardly a decisive mandate to give Israel a blank check. [1]

If a president promises to commit a genocide, I don't think any kind of policies would get voters (who are against genocide) to vote for him.

It's certainly not #1 priority but it is a deal breaker.
