Challenge: Israel Invades Cuba

Your challenge is to have an Israeli invasion of Cuba take place, with any POD after 1949. Bonus points if the Israelis succeed and the Cuban president surrenders to the IDF. Extra bonus points if the surrender takes place in 1994 as in the image above.
 
Balance of Power is a really good game. Great example of achieving great depth with limited technology and storage space of that time.


As for the scenario itself,
After Israel conquers Texas in the infamous Texas-Israeli War, it finds itself Harassed by Cuban pirates as it sails from its newest colonial possession back home. Israel has no other option but declare war!

The 1949 war ends in tragedy for the Israelis for some reason (we can find one), and they end up sent to Florida (if there is anywhere that should be a Jewish homeland it's the gold coast), where they establish an Israel-in-exile, complete with an IDF (seconded to the Florida National Guard), with a decent amount of Legitimacy. Later on the Cubans and Israelis end up fighting over some reason (Who "Gets" Miami?), leading to War, and the IDF completely dominating the Cubans, ending with IDF tanks peacefully disembarking from a couple of (rented) Ferries in Guanabacoa Harbor (that's in Havanna).
 
Ah, this reminds me of my old WI Saladin invades Norway thread….Wait no it doesn’t because like this scenario that makes no sense whatsoever.

Funny thing is if Israel fell in 1949 the Soviets would likely try to set up their own ‘’Israel’’ or Jewish AAR/SSR within the Soviet Union itself. Likely causing the US to support the (re)establishment of a western backed ‘’Israel’’ somewhere else, through not in Cuba.
