They have maxxed out their defense capabilities. Nobody around them can invade them and win. Which means that they are going to be one of the primary defense system sellers in the world.
Their neighbors are Palestine, Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, and Cyprus.
Egypt is too big to invade so they will leave it alone.
Israel will invade Lebanon in a few years time to be finally rid of the Hezbollah problem once and for all.
It is 10x times wealthier than Lebanon and has far better military capabilities. Once Israeli defense systems achieve 100% defense capabilities, they will move on to improving their attack capabilities and field testing the same.
Lebanon already has a sub replacement fertility rate and a far smaller population than Israel. Taking over Lebanon would be a piece of cake. If all of Lebanon was to escape into Saudi Arabia, the bigger nation could easily assimilate all of the people without any real losses. This is what would likely happen.
Conclusion - israel will take over lands of Lebanon and Jordan and Palestine. Its final land area will be 128,000 sq. km. It will become a trillion dollar economy.

That’s an interesting thought, and I could see it as a reality…
How do the Maronite Christians and Israel tend to see each other? I know there was Maronite-Hezbollah violence in the ‘80s and I think in the 2000s, but the country hasn’t really been on my radar since then…
Still, I could imagine an Israeli annexation of Lebanon going less painfully for both sides than the West Bank has been.

By the end of the day Israel as a land is too small. It needs space to open up its legs. Its less an option and more an inevitability.
