A whole host of quote "Middle East" wars occurred involving Israel from 1948 up thru 1973. With the last one being the most dangerous...US gas shortage...Israel getting hurt more than it ever did, etc. But Israel was not player in the cold war. The only nations that counted were the US, USSR, Red China, the Korean War, and Vietnam Wars in that order.
The Cuban Missile Crisis involved the USSR.
If a crisis didn't involve the above listed nations, it was simply "part" of world events. The oil (gas) crisis, from the Yom Kipper War of '73 was a logistical crisis...gas prices went from 29 cents a gallon to $1.00 a gallon over night. Even and odd numbered license plates were the norm in America...pushing your "gas hog" IN LINE to the gas pumps caused many US car owners to switch from the full sized gas guzzlers to the Chevy Vega, Ford Pinto, and Toyotas and Datsuns (called Nissons today). Try pushing (by yourself) a full sized pick-up truck up the drive way from the street...the poor drivers waiting in line behind you have to get out of their own vehicles to push you up the drive way from the street. Or they just got mad and honked their horns at you and cussed you out. Big vehicles caused big problems in 1973/74.
It led to the creation of Israel on 14 May 1948.
Israel invaded Egypt along with Britain and France.
Israel has not experienced a cold war. It has been the site of a very active conflict. If the question is asking how did Israel play a role in the Cold War between the Americans and the Soviets, Israel was almost consistently (since 1953) an ally of the United States and therefore occupied a superior position vis à vis the Arab States which were aligned with the Soviets.
Cold war, Israel's Independence, and Germany's huge debit to the world

If Israel had not been created, the Arab countries would not have mobilized forces against it. If the Arab countries had not mobilized forces against Israel, Israel would not have been able to defeat those forces in combat during the Six Day War.
