How could Israel possibly be the strongest political force in the Middle East? They have no political influence in the region what so ever. Outside the Middle East is of course a different question.

KSA far exceeds Israel in terms access to technology. Their stupid sheikhs might have kept them indulged in novelty, but KSA is one the fastest developing countries in this aspect. I don't need a survey to tell me this. They are coming out of jahiliyya, and today they have students all across the US exceeding in their fields.

Access to technology directly translates into exporting technology, equipment, weapons etc. Israel leads everyone in the middle east when it comes to that, including Turkey. Also if Israel was a bigger country with a bigger force, then they would actually be militarily stronger. But being a small country they rank below Turkey in terms of military and economic strength.

Whichever country in the middle east is pro-US, is also pro-Israel. Even if they dont like it. It doesnt matter if Israel does things through a proxy like the US, but they can still get things done in the middle east.

It's interesting that Turkey ranks very low in the opinion of Syrians, and this has been the case since at least 2011 (according to the survey). I guess most Syrians do not support Erdogan's policy to enable anti-government rebels. That must say something also of what Syrians think of the uprising.
