Israel is not doing as well as you think it is. Unless it gets help from the next world power it is honestly not going to last very long on its own. There have been several times that Israel would be out of weapons at the rate they were going if it wasnt for shipments from the US. They get some from other places like the UK but nearly to the same extent. Israel has made enemy of everyone in the area and then some, so without the support of the US specifically it will dry up pretty damn fast. This isn't to say they are not dangerous. They have nukes ffs, but without someone directly funnelling interest, then the rest of the countries would kick them out. Which will probably happen within the next 50 years. Because as it stands the age of oil is coming to a close which is the big reason the project was done in the first place.
To give a direct back door to the governments attached to oil. As these wars within the last 10 years keep making oil more and more expensive it will push people to renewables more and more and then you have China who has a lot of interest to get off oil asap for a laundry list of reasons. As the interest in oil dries up, so to will the interest in keeping Israel maintained.
Like I said they are still very dangerous to the people over there, but that wasn't even the point to start all of this! Which was the idea that Israel controls the American government. It obviously does not. The ruling class controls America and therefore Israel. To say that Israel controls the government is a new antisemitic talking point that democrats and republicans are pushing because it takes the blame off of them and makes them seem less culpable in the genocide. It benefits America for people to push the idea that it has no control over the genocide.
