First of all, in today's world, every country imports goods since no country makes everything it consumes. However, Israel, in particular, needs to import fuel since it does not have domestic coal mines or petroleum deposits. Israel also needs to import raw diamonds for its diamond-cutting industry.

Israel is unlike many other countries, in that it produces no less than 95% of its food-needs, through its agriculture. It imports very little in the way of food. This is thanks to God's promise that the land will be fertile (Deuteronomy ch.11). Things other than food are imported as needed, such as cars, appliances, and so on.
