Well, in fact all of its neighbours have been at war with Israel since it was formed in 1947, but in the 1948 war specifically it was Palestine who was most eager to go to war, but other Arab nations were joint in the war effort, including Jordan, Lebanon, Syria, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Iraq.
No. Israel was not at war or declaring war on anyone in 1980. In 1981, Israel entered the Lebanese Civil War after a barrage of rockets coming from southern Lebanon under PLO control.
Egypt and other countries declared war against Israel, which was made mostly of Jews, so, YES, but Israel did not declare war on them.
The United States is not obligated by any standing treaty between the United States and Israel to intercede in Israel's defense. To date, of the numerous wars that Israel has fought, the United States has only ever provided economic support or gifting weapons. No American Soldier has given his life in an Israeli War. If Iran declared war on Israel, the United States would probably act similarly and may itself declare war on Iran, but this will not be out of any written treaty, but purely based on American regional interests.
