There was no "war of independence". In late 1947, the United Nations General Assembly
voted to allow Jewish authorities to oversee a piece of land in the Middle East. In May of 1948,
those authorities declared that piece of land to be an independent country, and that was
all it took. There was no war, Israel existed, and it was recognized as an independent nation
by many others around the world, including the US and UK. But there were others that were
troubled by Israel's existence as an independent nation. In fact, they were so troubled that
the combined armies of Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, and Egypt attacked Israel soon after its
Declaration of Independence. They failed to take over the country and bring its government
down, and although most of them are still bothered by Israel's presence after 62 years,
Israel still exists.
The war was not one of independence. It was one of survival, and Israel won that one.

Was the Independence of Israel the cause of the Yom Kippur War?
Not directly. The Independence of Israel was the direct cause of the Arab-Israeli War of 1948 (the Israeli Independence War), not the Arab-Israeli War of 1973 (the Yom Kippur War). The cause of the Arab-Israeli War of 1973 was for Egypt to reclaim the Sinai Peninsula and for the Syrians to reclaim the Golan Heights, both under legal Israeli Occupation pursuant to UNSC Resolution 242. However, if Israel had not achieved independence, it could not have occupied those territories and there would have been no Yom Kippur War, but this is probably not what the question was looking for.
