It is a chess move by Israel, they are always 2 steps ahead, corner the entire sphere of influence and intellegence, covert intel in the Middle East, because knowlege is power, and Israel will never let WW2 happen ever again.
Even if Israel appears to fund them it's all about appearances. It's keeping tabs on the threat next door so they don't get out of line.
Rather them than us is a real survival tactic. I respect the hell out of that.
