There were four wars that pitted Egypt against Israel during the Cold War Period (1945-1991)
Israeli War of Independence / Palestinian Catastrophe (Nakba): This war was fought in two main phases. From late 1947 to May of 1948, the British still held nominal control of the territory and the fighting was restricted to groups within Mandatory Palestine. Jewish and Arab Militias more frequently fought away from civilian centers (except Jerusalem which was the sight of heavy bloodshed) for control of the area. After the British withdrew on May 14, 1948, the Jews declared their independence. This allowed the conflict to expand and seven Arab nations contributed armies or regiments to assist the Palestinian Arabs. During this period, both sides, but more commonly Israelis, attacked civilians and caused many of them to flee. After the war, Israel refused to allow them re-admittance. Israel controlled more land after the war than they would have controlled had the Arabs peacefully accepted a Jewish State along the UN-proscribed boundaries.
Suez Crisis: 1956, Egypt nationalizes the Suez Canal and blocks Israeli shipping, leading to an alliance of the United Kingdom, France, and Israel attacking Egypt and conquering the Sinai Peninsula. After the War, the United States and Soviet Union jointly forced the parties to return to the antebellum situation, but while placing UNEF troops in the Sinai and giving Israel freedom of the seas.
Six Day War: 1967, By virtue of a preemptive war, Israel gains all lands in the former British Mandate of Palestine and begins the military occupation of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. Settlement construction begins at this point. Jerusalem is unified and the Old City is renovated to allow for mutual religious practice.
Yom Kippur War/October War: 1973, Egypt and Syria launch a devastating surprise attack on Israel, making important gains in the first two weeks. When Israel finally reversed the tide, they began conquering territories beyond the Six Day War territories. The lands were returned to the antebellum state and it was then clear that Israel would not be eliminated through strength of arms. The early Arab victories also shattered the myth of Israeli invincibility and lead to Arabs seeing themselves as less humiliated.
Egyptian-Israeli Peace Accords: 1979, Egyptian President Anwar Sadat and Israeli Prime Minister Menahem Begin signed the Camp David Accords. Egypt had Sinai returned to it from 1979 to 1982 and the two countries exchanged ambassadors. Sadat was later assassinated for his work to end the conflict.

What is the date of when the the Soviet Union allied with Arab countries to fight against the Jews during the Cold War?
No specific dates, the USSR had a policy that began in the 1950's that favored the Arab nations vs. Israel. The goal was to create a wedge between the Arab countries and the democratic nations of the west. The Soviet Union supplied most of the military equipment to those nations (& terrorists) most hostile towards Israel in the 1960-1990 era, such as to: Egypt, Syria, Iraq, & Libya.
Why did Egypt attract the interest of superpowers during the Cold War?
It's a stretch to say that they were aligned with the Soviet Union - after the Yom Kippur War, Egypt actually aligned itself with the United States. But they were a Soviet client state because the Soviet Union decided to back the Arab militaries, as opposed to the United States, which backed Israel. But there was no actual alliance between Egypt and the Soviet Union, and neither one had any obligation to defend the other in the event of a war.
