“Yes, those three countries in particular should set aside their differences and ally themselves to contain Red China.”
I once worked for Tadiran, the Israeli GE. It’s an American owned company now, but the guys I worked with talked about their weapons sales. I strongly suspect that Israel is quietly dealing with some or all; India, Taiwan, Japan and Korea. With their combined expertise and technology they could locally build awesome weapons. Israel has (according to Jimmy Carter) 500 nuclear weapons. It could instantly neutralize China’s power by either helping them develop or giving the technology to them. Israel is motivated by needing to replace its former American ally with new trading partners and reliable allies.

I thought they were openly dealing with some (India, for example).

They’ve always known the alliance (on paper) was weak to begin with; I believe it is limited to issues in the Sinai with Egypt. They know American leaders have historically steered clear of putting “boots on the ground” there, and have every reason to doubt any ever would.
