Israel has the near-absolute support of the U.S. It's relations with the EU, Canada, and other Western countries are lukewarm. And Israel doesn't even need U.S. military backing to protect itself. They mostly share intelligence about common enemies. In fact, it's probably the U.S.'s influence with Israel that prevents Israel from doing something reckless about Iran.
