How do you figure that? National Israel is being brought back together ever since 1948.
We do have to deal with the narrative, which had Jesus declaring the tree would never bear fruit. It might be metaphorically referring to a certain generation or generations of the official leaders of the nation of Israel, not Israel forevermore.
This may be another example that there are a lot of biblical texts which are not intended to stand alone or be viewed in a vacuum.
The modern regathering of Israel is very partial at this point. Great difficulties and some losses in retaining Jewish control of the territory, and a territory which is much smaller than its biblical extent.
Israel’s salvation – the OLIVE tree (Romans 11)
Israel as a nation – the FIG tree (Matthew 21)
Israel’s spiritual state – the VINE (Isaiah 5)

Jesus is concerned with spiritual fruit, i.e. faith.
The fact that Jews have formed a nation they call Israel does not negate the fact that the kingdom was taken from national Israel and given to another nation.
National Israel will never bear fruit again, we look to the new nation to bear fruit.
Do you know what nation it is that bears fruit?
