Unless Israel opts for the wall option (not on the 67 lines), it's not a struggle of technology. See some of my sources in 28. Technology can preven Israel from losing, it won't achieve a victory.Israel is completely safe from being wiped off the face of the Earth. It has nuclear weapons. "Defensible borders" don't mean all that much.
As Clancy said/proposed in the book version of Sum of All Fears, I would actually favor signing a full mutual-defense treaty with Israel (with a codicil against it attacking its neighbors without our permission) if it reaches a fair and equitable peace deal with the Palestinians.

BWAHAHAHAHA! Nuclear weapons don't keep out suicide bombers; real, controlled borders do.
Having nuclear weapons doesnt help when it's your neighbour who's throwing garbage over the wall and killing your cat. Sometimes the wind blows in the wrong direction.
