First biggest thing Israel needs to do is to stop depending on USA for small weapons

Manufacturing its own weapons will dictate their own foreign policy just like France did in the 60’s

USA has its own foreign policy, Israel should have its own with its own weapons and sell these weapons for cash if need be

That’s the first step

Once you become self sufficient you can fight a fight

Israel makes most of its own small weapons and also exports military equipment to other countries.

I have a very nice IWI Masada, made for the civilian market.

In the past, Israel did not have that choice. But now their economy is big enough so they can probably afford to do that. They need a massive arms stockpile, enough to last them in a war for at least five years against all of their regional enemies.

It can be done. North Korea recently gave some of their massive stockpile to Russia for their war in Ukraine.
