At least they are paying customers.
The first order of bizness is the Haifa pipeline restoration if there is ever a cessation of hostilities.
If all goes as planned the oil from the Caspian region will be piped all the way to Israel and a Kosher tax will forever put the state on Easy Street. No American fuel retailer would dare buy un-Kosher oil (from Chavez for instance) and risk a boycott, so, Israel will have a guaranteed income from "friendlies" if this dream comes to fruition.
