How was Israel invaded by 7 Arab armies?
I am not sure what you are asking. If you mean how did the forces from those Arab armies enter Israel, the answer is simple. All four of the countries that bordered Israel were a subset of the seven invading countries. The tanks literally just crossed the border. If you are asking about how Israel was unable to repel them immediately, the answer is also simple, Israel did not have the manpower to do that.

Michal Negrin jewelry isn't too expensive but is considered very nice jewelry and authentic to Israel. Also, their chocolate is amazing (Israel is known for her dairy products).

Also, everyone loves a good Coca-Cola shirt written in Hebrew or an army (Tzahal) tshirt (which are also usually only 10 bucks). There's a ton of pretty Judaica (candlesticks, hanging hamsas, etc.) on Ben Yahuda street along with handmade kippot.

Why did the creation of Israel occur in Arab areas?
Your question is wrong.
Israel creation occurred in British areas. this areas was never Arabic.
The act was not malicious towards the Arabs. The area where the Land of Israel (the biblically defined region) was had no Arabs at the point in time when the Israelite Kingdoms reigned since the Arabs at the time were living almost exclusively in the Arabian Peninsula. During the Rise of Islam period, over 1000 years later, Arab armies and populations resettled the "Northern Middle East" which consists of places like Iraq, Syria, Lebanon, Jordan, Israel, and Palestine. These Arabs interbred with the local peoples and Arabized them (this is a cultural/identity process). Therefore, the Land of Israel became host to an Arab population. When Jews made a political gambit to get the Land of Israel back, it now had an Arab population that could trace its roots back for at least 800 years and considered the territory part of their birthright.
If the question is asking, why did the Jews not choose Patagonia or some other region with no discernible native population, the answer is the same reason as why the Kurds and Circassians also do not want a State in their Diasporas. There is something intrinsic about all of these people and their connection to the place of their origin. Jews have the right to not have to compromise their historical identity for momentary peace.

What connection did Cleopatra have to the Old City of Caesarea in current-day Israel?
Cleopatra had no connection to the ancient city of Caesarea that is known. But remember there were several cities by that name. However, her daughter was married to Juba II of Mauritania and their capitol city was named Caesarea.
The Caesarea in current day Israel was built by Herod the Great sometime between 25 and 13 BC. Its construction was started roughly five years after Cleo's death. So Cleopatra would have had no connection to that Caesarea, and it's unlikely that any of her sympathizers would be allowed to even live there, as Cleopatra and Herod were not exactly buddies. However, there was a former city callen Straton's Tower built by Straton I of Sidon on the site of Caesarea in Israel. After the agreement between Cleopatra and Marc Antony at Antioch, Cleopatra was given territories all along the eastern Mediterranean coast and this city was part of her new holdings. She was supposed to have made a tour of her new possessions upon leaving Marc Antony and could very well have stopped at the old city, before it was rebuilt and called Caesarea.
In the general sense, no. Arabs, in general, opposed the State of Israel through war and bloodshed on numerous occasions. However, there have been a number of Arabs who did help to create Israel, primarily among the Druze and Bedouins, but there are some ethnic Palestinians who have actively contributed to create Israel as well.
