Israel is not a burden on the west; this is Iranian propaganda. In 2022 it had a GDP of almost half a trillion dollars. In that same year the aid it received by the United States was roughly four billion, or less than one percent of Israel's GDP and less than one tenth of one percent of US GDP. Israel does not need Arab protection from Iran because it has nuclear weapons on top of conventional superiority.Arabs were barely coming out from foreign rule. when they have to confront Israel. there societies simply not designed to incorporate modern warfare and scientific thought. Today Arabs are very sophisticated. They know Israel is burden on West but they are using Israel as lobbying power for there interests which can be against Turkey and Europe. if Israel lobbying power decreases or Germany unable to produce goods that are required by Arab world than Israel will need Arab protection from Iran. Israel with higher per capita has cost of living crises. Look at Israel trade with Asia and its need for Indian/Asian workers. it is increasingly one sided and how you trade with Asia without going through Arab world.
There is video where UAE president introduce his younger sibling to Turkish president as the owner of English Football club. The point is this high profile match of two Europeans foot ball clubs were played in Turkey but he still has to remind him that this is the owner of the club like that is some kind of favor of bringing foot ball match earnings to Turkey. They really are satisfied what the have achieved with Turkey. and they want to achieve the same dominance over Europe.
Of course Israel does not want US aid to go away. But even if it did, the state could still finance its military budget with a modest increase in tax revenue. It is not financially dependant on the US despite how often that claim gets thrown around.
