Who do we assume might attack Israel if Israel continues to follow her present course of action?
We could posit any number of scenarios and draw conclusions from them.
Those countries that may be said to be democracies or quasi democracies are the most likely to attack Israel and they include
in particular
Syria,
Lebanon,
Iraq and
Iran.
Egypt ranks next as a possible attacker,
followed by Turkey, a much less likely attacker,
while
Pakistan and Afghanistan are possible
but unlikely attackers.
Because of its influence in th contries of the European Union, Israel formerly had some support in Europe but the weakness of the US military and the now proven inability of the United States to successfully occupy a conquered region has chilled Israel's European support.
Israel's unhidden and unchecked
chokehold on the US establishment
assures Israel of US support.
But though Israel dominates the US news media,
and much of the foreign, as well as US domestic, policy,
the US establishment must, in time,
come to terms
with the pro-American,
anti-Israeli ground swell
and for such reason
Israel believes
that whatever radical action it might take
should be taken now.
If their interests were not being directly affected,
China and Russia would not be active participants,
but might welcome a limited conflict
in which they were not directly involved,
knowing it would be sure to further weaken the United States.
Fearful of rocking the boats containing the personal wealth of their rulers, , Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Oman, the Emirates Quatar, Kuwait, etc, would avoid commiting themselves to any degree that might prompt uprisings within their own communities.

[I]Of interest is Russia's willingness to permit us to secure a supply route into Afghanistan.
The US press attributes such willingness to Russia's own fear of Muslim extemism,
but such willingness
almost certainly is based in much part upon a recognition that such a route will encourage the US to further expose itself to further losses in Afghanistan,
which is a larger and more populous country than Iraq
