Maybe the U.S. can add some certainty by definitively washing our hands of the Arab world, and pulling out of the Mid East to leave the parties on their own.

While at first a very tempting thought, Leftists have made— through their Green Energy fetishism/cronyism— our abandoning the ME impractical. Russia, China, and Iran rush in to claim control over resources and seats of power for themselves and leave us at their mercy. That is not all attractive.

"Maybe the U.S. can add some certainty by definitively washing our hands of the Arab world"

As long as we need oil from the region, we cannot simply wash our hands of the Arab world. Power hates a vacuum. We leave, someone like Russia or China step in. That would be worse.
