That's actually changed in the last 10-20 years. Israel has very good relations with Jordan, Egypt, and even Saudi Arabia. Sure, Syria and Lebanon still hate them, but they're failed states anyway. The biggest destabilizing force in that region is Iran working through proxies, but Iran lacks the expeditionary military to really pose a threat to Israel.
