In the year 1914, the First World War started and the Ottoman Empire and the British Empire came face to face. On 2 November 1914, the Balfour Declaration took place between the British and the Jews. Britain's Foreign Secretary Lord Belfor and Jewish leader Lord Rothschild did a reconciliation and asked the Jews to fight on behalf of the British in this war. Lord Belfor in turn proposed to give some of Pelstein's part to the Jews. This conversation between the two was called Balfour Declaration.
After the end of the First World War, the British Empire defeated the ottoman empire and captured the Palestinian part. According to the Balfour Declaration, some part of Palestine was to be given to the Jews, but Britain did not do so because the Arabs lived in Palestine and the Jews also wanted to live here. The Jews have a religious connection with Palestine and believed that they had the right to live.
Now the second world war happened, in this war, the economy of British was spoiled. Britain wanted to get rid of the Jewish dispute, so Britain liberated Palestine in 2 parts. One part was given to Palestino peoples and the other to the Jews known today as Israel. All this happened under Balfour Declaration. You see in the image which part was given to the Jews and which was given to Palestino.

So in the year 1948, Israel was born and America and many big countries considered Israel as a country. The Arab countries did not want the Jews to get their country, so the Arab countries attacked together to take over Israel. In this war, Israel won by defeating the Arab countries. But after some time both agreed and the war stopped. And thus Israel was recognized as a country at the international level. Israel became a country, but they faced a problem. Israel, whose majority of the land was desert. And at that time, Israel was weak in terms of petroleum, agriculture, military, and technology.
But now Israel is a country that is far powerful and self-dependent in the field of military and technology. Israel is also included in the list of all-powerful countries. but
How Israeli army so powerful | what makes israel a powerful country?
Yaakov Katz, the former editor of the Jerusalem Post, wrote a book called "The Weapon Wizards: How Israel Became a High‑Tech Military". In that book, Yaakov Katz writes that the country's first business delegation was sent to America in 1950, just 2 years after the creation of Israel. At that time, Israel did not have good natural resources, so that it could grow its economy, then there was neither oil nor mineral wealth. Yaakov Katz writes that his delegation had several meetings one after the other. The Israelis were trying to sell things like orange kerosene stores in countries like Argentina but in Argentina, there was enough production of oranges and there was no electricity problem. That is, the world did not need the things that Israel had and the things that the world needed were not available to Israel.
On one hand, the Arab country wanted to destroy Israel, due to which there was also pressure on Israel to strengthen its army, so Israel took a lot of loans from America and started to improve its country. Israeli people started going abroad to study, Israeli people obtained engineering, doctorate degrees from foreign universities. Those people went only for studies, after completing the studies, they came and worked in their country. And helped in the development of our country. Every person in Israel is a Soldier. Every person in Israel has to work in the Army for 2 years. Therefore, countries like Europe and America consider Israel the most secure for their military base.
In today's time, Israel is far ahead in terms of sales of Modern weapons. Every year Israel exports 718 billion dollars of Weapons. Israel exports the largest number of drones in the world. Israel became so powerful in a military form that Israel spends 4.6% of its GDP in research and development and develops new technology and weapons. Israel Aerospace built the first defense system in the year 2000 and Israel acquired the technology to destroy missiles in the air.
In the year 1989, Israel launched its first satellite.
Israel is famous all over the world for its Merkava tanks. This deadly tank was included in the Israeli Defense Force in 1979. Merkava tanks were made in Israel itself. Today, the Army of Israel has more than 1600 tanks, of which 50 are Merkava tanks. Israel also has a Jericho 3 Nuclear deterrence ballistic missile. Jericho 1 ballistic missile was included in the Israeli Defense Force in the year 1914. Today Israel has its 3rd generation model 'Jericho 3'. Israel did not officially acknowledge that it was a nuclear-rich country, but according to a report, Israel had become a nuclear-rich country in the 70s. Israel has more than 90 nuclear weapons according to the Washington-based organization 'Arms Control'.
In Israel, every person over 16 years of age has to undergo army training whether he wishes or not. Therefore, the army of this country is considered to be the soul of iron. For all these reasons, Israel is a powerful country today.
