Answer 1

Egypt & Syria

Step-by-step explanation:

• The two nations that have been directly involved with the three major Arab-Israeli wars are Egypt and Syria. Arab-Israeli wars, a string of armed battles involving Israel and several Arab nations (1948–1949, 1956, 1967, 1969–1970, 1973, and 1982). Following the United Nations' partition of Palestine, Israel proclaimed itself an independent state, sparking the first war (1948–1949). Five Arab nations—Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria—attacked Israel in retaliation for this action. In the end, Israel had gained a sizable amount of territory. Egypt's nationalization of the Suez Canal marked the start of the 1956 Suez Crisis. In response to international pressure, a coalition made up of France, Great Britain, and Israel attacked Egypt and took control of the canal zone. Israel launched attacks on Egypt, Jordan, and Syria during the 1967 Six-Day War. At the end of the conflict, Israel controlled a sizeable portion of Arab territory. Egypt and Israel engaged in an unreported attrition battle around the Suez Canal in 1969–1970, which was finally resolved with the aid of international diplomacy. The Yom Kippur War, which Egypt and Syria launched against Israel in 1973, resulted in no clear victor for the Arabs despite their early successes. Egypt and Israel made peace in 1979. In order to drive out Palestinian militants stationed in Lebanon, Israel invaded the country in 1982. Israel left the majority of Lebanon by 1985, but they kept a small buffer zone there until 2000.
