Alexander the great of Macedon defeated the Persians who were, in turn, the masters of Palestine, including Judah. In 331 BCE, he formally annexed Judah. Judah was now part of the Alexandrian, or Greek, Empire. After the death of Alexander, his empire was divided among five successors, with Judah ruled from Damascus. In 305 BCE, Ptolomy declared himself king of Egypt and the others soon followed, thus formalising a breakup of the empire. Over the ensuing decades, Egypt and Damascus fought over Judah and the surrounding regions of Palestine, with success sometimes to one side, then the other.

What was important about Israel geographic location?
Israel was historically on the border between great empires. The Egyptian Empire, the Assyrian Empire, the Babylonian Empire, the Persian Empire, the Greek Empire, the Roman Empire, the Byzantine Empire, the Ottoman Empire and the British Empire all took control of this land. At one point, the Mongol armies made it as far as Gaza. I'm sure I've left some out. It has seaports on the Mediterranean, and caravan routes from Arabia and Persia used to connect to these seaports. It is also on the major land route from Egypt to Anatolia (Turkey) and Babylon (Iraq). As a result, although it was not a center of power, it was far from a backwater in ancient times, News from everywhere passed through Israel, and developments in Israel could and did have an influence on the world.
