Israel, because of it's location surrounded by more enemies than friends, has sort of a built-in source of keeping the voters there in line; here we scare nationalists into voting on emotional fringe issues like trans and abortion and immigrants...
... but there they have an Enemy they can blame for their authoritarian militarism, mostly Iran, who fund numerous violent militarist terror groups.
Israel was in this position for most of it's existence, and before, actually; Babylon destroyed the first Temple and took most of Israel captive to be slaves, yet again, as they had been in Egypt ( they were there 400 years to learn how to not treat immigrants, btw).

Cyrus the Great of Persia (aka Iran) conquered Babylon, returned Israel to Jerusalem and helped them build the Second Temple (which Rome later destroyed)... so, frenemies for a while.
Here's what is predicted to happen next:
"Geopolitical Conflict and Alliances: The world will experience "wars and rumors of wars," with nation rising against nation. A coalition of nations, often interpreted as originating from the former Roman Empire (ten toes of Daniel 2), will unite under the Antichrist.
(the "former Roman Empire" in this scenario is the 4th Reich, America, the world's most potent military, with Germany under Hitler being the 3rd Reich)
The Role of Specific Regions: Specific regions mentioned include Persia (modern Iran/Iraq), Libya, and Ethiopia.
The focus is heavily centered on the Middle East and Israel, which becomes a focal point of international conflict."

But it's just a story.
