I don't know a thing about relations between the ROC and Israel. I do know that Taiwan does have modified versions of an Israel designed corvette, the Sa'ar V. However, these were built in the US.
Taiwan could certainly US ISraeli help. Their F-5's and even Indiginous Fighters could use better avionics and weapons. They really could use the Derby light medium ranged missle and the Python 5, which is the best ir-guided missle in production.
Taiwan could use help to develop or deploy cruise missles to attack Chinese military facilities.

Of course, Taiwan also needs to increase its military budget.

All the more tragic that Israel has not considered selling arms to the ROC. Of course, Taiwan is hardly the PRC's equal in influence in the world, so I suppose it makes sense on that level. Still, Communist China is an evil government that denies HaShem and despite all its avowals of friendship it still supports anti-Israel forces in the Middle East (as does the US). It would certainly be the moral thing to do to for Israel to support Taiwan instead of the PRC (since Taiwan has also been screwed by the US). But I suppose the PRC's budget for military purchases and clout in the world (as well as the ROC's history of anti-Zionism) continue to play a factor here.

Tragic all around. Absolutely tragic.
