Israel is considered as enemy number one by the Muslim countries in the region, and they see it as a country that was forceful formed on Arab territory, and as a nation that wants to destroy them all in one way or another. The USA is the biggest supporter of Israel though, but it is also a country that has huge interest in the region, and lot of missions in it.
