I suspect Israel and Russia are looking at each other with "You first!" so that they can start nuking and blame the other for starting it.

Israel is not under existential threat even if there are occasional rockets hitting Ashkelon or downtown Tel Aviv

The rest of the Arab world is mostly placated by alliances w/ the US and thus Israel, but if Israel drops an nuke all bets are off.

The Saudis will probably have a bomb before too long following a nuclear deal: https://www.reuters.com/world/us/us-removing-guardrails-prop...
