Six Day War

Due to the 1967 6 day war between Israel and a coalition of Arab States, the end result was enlarging the size of Israel.
Israel's stability was not contingent on the Holocaust. Israel's stability came about as a result of the Armistice of 1949 with the Arab States in the Arab-Israeli War of 1948-9.

The reasons for the Conflict in general have not dissipated and can be found at the Related Question below. As for the particular start-and-end dates, 1948 was when Israel was declared an independent, sovereign state. There could not be an Arab-Israeli Conflict if there was no Israel. 1973 is the end date because it was after the Arab failure in the Arab-Israeli War of 1973 that the Arab States realized that military victory over Israel would never be successful. After that point, they began to endorse the Palestinian Cause more fully and see that as an avenue to weaken Israel and/or the Arab States negotiated with Israel in good faith to come to a peaceful long-term solution.
It is unclear what this question means. If you are asking, "In which year did the United States help Israel to bring Jews out of Arab countries and into Israel?" the answer is "Never". The United States has never assisted Israel in its missions to save Jews in peril worldwide with craft, financial support (specifically for this), or expertise and these missions have been entirely run on the Israeli budget. Most Jews actually fled Arab countries on their own, but arrived in Israel as result of there being minimal opportunities elsewhere. These mass immigrations to Israel occurred primarily between 1949 and 1952.
Seven Arab states invaded Israel upon its establishment, namely Egypt, Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, Iraq, Saudi Arabia and Yemen.
Egypt in 1979. Jordan in 1994. There has been no other peace agreement between Israel and any Arab State, only armistices.
There are a number of Arab States in a de jure state of war or non-recognition of the State of Israel, but there is no Arab State as of April 6, 2012 that is in de facto war with the State of Israel.
The most immediate obstacle to the formation of Israel in 1948 was the intense opposition from neighboring Arab states and the local Arab population. Following the United Nations' partition plan to create separate Jewish and Arab states, Arab nations rejected the plan and launched military action against the newly declared state of Israel. This conflict, rooted in competing national aspirations and historical grievances, led to the Arab-Israeli War of 1948, complicating the establishment and recognition of Israel.
Sadat entered Egypt into a peace agreement with Israel. The existing Arab policy had been to accept nothing less than the complete destruction of Israel.
