So long as Israel doesn't do anything horrendously stupid (from a military perspective)... it would be very difficult for it to be taken over.
@the wiki: I hardly believe it would be obliterated instantly... but I highly doubt that Israel could commit to a long campaign against the enemies you noted and survive. Observe a far greater power than Israel: Napoleon's France. It overreached in Russia, and was overrun with the sheer numbers Prussia, Austria, Sweden, Russia, Great Britain, Spain, and Portugal were together able to field. For Israel to be obliterated... it would have to overreach (and be subsequently 'dogpiled'), have its opponents grow militarily strong enough to wound it (or outright defeat it), and/or lose the diplomatic support of "the west" (which would have grave long term effects for Israel).
Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
