Nice try but we aren't protecting Israel. Palestinians, Lebanese, Egyptians, and Syrians have been training for war against Israel for decades and fought war with Israel for decades. Even Jordan fought at one point and Saudis provided material support and fighters. And Iraq.
Only Jordan , UAE, and Bahrain have some sembelance of true relations with Israel as Jordan was frightened by Baathist Syria , Iraq and PLO. Why UAE and Bahrain are frightened by bigger players in region like Islamists, Saudis and Iran. These are only 3 parties with real relations with Israel. You can add Morocco which is doing a fake exercise to get US to recognize it as owner of disputed Saharan territory.
