2. Iran has no border with Israel

Syria is not a military threat to anyone other than Syrians as it is essentially a failed state except around Damascus.

Egypt works closely with both Israel and the US. Likewise Jordan is not a military threat.

Israel is a nuclear power with the capability to destroy any of your list that seriously threatened to defeat Israel in a conventional war, not that any of them could.

As soon as the IDF withdraws from Gaza an embargo on arms sales should be lifted. I have no problem with Israel purchasing weapons from US manufacturers, my problem is their using them in a genocide in progress.
