The Egyptians, Hittites, Assyrians, Damascenes and Babylonians fought over the states of the Levant because it was the corridor that joined Egypt to the Fertile Crescent. Any expansion by Egypt had to go via Palestine, since the Jordanian desert was too hostile until after the domestication of the camel in the first millennium BCE. Similarly, any attempt to attack or contain Egypt required control of the Palestian states.
