An escort carrier as transport and an offshore airfield for Israel

What if Israel had acquired the Casablanca-class escort carrier discussed in the question?

It would initially deliver people and weapons, but the usefulness of a mobile offshore airfield could encourage a lasting carrier capability.

The proposed Casablanca-class escort carrier acquisition would initially transport weapons and people to Palestine. It would help establish the new state's resources, without necessarily becoming an operational aircraft carrier. A mobile airfield off the coast could nevertheless prove useful in later conflicts involving Israel. If that usefulness persuaded Israel to keep operating carriers, it could create a continuing naval aviation capability. The suggested advantage is additional strategic depth.
