ANSWER: Thank you, I enjoyed your input. I answered this question in the "Christianity" section of "Religion and Spiritually" Christians believe that Abraham's descendants that inherit the land came through the "chosen" seed of Abraham. That seed was Isaac and not Ishmael, from Issac the covenant passed to Jacob and not Esau, and from there to the nation of Israel through the 12 sons of Jacob, which became the 12 tribes.
I know there is a lot of disquiet in the Middle east at this time and we do not have all the answers, but God will sort them out.

God the Father, and God the Son (Jesus Christ), and God the Holy Spirit. All three are one God.

What year did israel fight egypt?
Answer 1
1948, 1967, and 1973.
Answer 2
Egypt invaded Israel on several occasions, but the caveats have to be noted on some of those invasions.
1948 - Egypt crossed militarily into territory that was supposed to be Israeli according UNGA Resolution 181 (II). -- No caveat here, this was an invasion of Israeli territory.
1967 - Israel invaded Egyptian territory here in retaliation for cutting off Israeli access to the Red Sea and for amassing troops on the Israeli border. Even though Egypt did not invade Israel, the intent to do so was clear.
1967-1970 - During the War of Attrition, Egypt sent missiles and small tactical groups into Israeli-Occupied Sinai Peninsula. Israel had the legal right to control the Sinai pending a formal peace treaty due to UNSC Resolution 242. However, these attacks were not in sovereign Israeli territory, but in occupied Egyptian territory.
1973 - Similar to the War of Attrition, Egypt actively invaded the Israeli-Occupied Sinai Peninsula, to which Israel still had a legal right. However, Egyptian forces did not advance more than a quarter of the way into the Sinai Peninsula and did not enter sovereign Israeli territory.
Since 1979, Egypt and Israel have been at peace.
Is Tap Water Safe To Drink In Israel?
Tap water is generally safe in Israel, although many Israelis prefer bottled water. (This is the same way that many Europeans prefer bottled water even though tap water is generally safe in Europe.)
However, it is not safe to drink directly from groundwater in Israel (such as its various rivers - Jordan, Yarkon, etc. - and the Sea of Galilee / Lake of Tiberias), or from either the Mediterranean, Red, or Dead Seas.
Answer:
The tap water in Israel is perfectly safe. By law, each local jurisdiction (towns, cities) filters, treats and purifies the water before it enters the local system, just as is done in other developed countries. The water is tested all the time and the results are published. In view of this fact, the Israeli government has said that the bottled water industry "is the biggest scam of all" since its water is no better than the tap water.
When was country of Israel established?

the first Century CE. The modern, present State of Israel was reborn as an independent
nation in 1948.

What is the issue between Jews and Palestinians?
It is unclear what "all this hostility" refers to. Contrary to what many Arab and Muslim commentators may say, the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict really only affects the Israelis and Palestinians and had marginal to reasonably important effects on the Arab countries directly bordering Israel or Palestine. However, the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict does not cause the majority of problems or conflicts in the Middle East and is actually quite insignificant. (Such conflicts include the Turko-Cypriot War, the current Syrian Civil War, Saudi Repression of Women and Minorities, the Iran-Iraq War, the Persian Gulf War of 1990-1991, the Iraq War and the Insurgency, the Anfal Campaign and other Genocides in Iraq prior to Saddam Hussein's overthrow, the Iranian-Israeli Proxy Wars, the Cultural and Political Repression of the Kurds, South Sudanese, Darfurians, Amazigh, Pied Noirs, Jews and Christians, and numerous other conflicts).
As for the issues between Israelis and Palestinians currently, most of them have to do with the current Israeli and Palestinian governments not being interested in pursuing bilateral negotiations because of mutual distrust. Netanyahu, Israel's Prime Minister, is angered by Hamas' bellicose nature along the Israeli border and does not believe that Mahmoud Abbas is truly interested in a negotiated solution since he went to the UN to acquire statehood without a formal peace agreement. Abbas, the Palestinian Authority Chairman, is bothered by increased Israeli settlement construction and a failure on the Israeli government's part to reward his positive management of the West Bank with increased autonomy and land-area.
As for the general issues, please see the Related Questions below.
Not all Jews are Israeli citizens and not all Israeli citizens are Jews.
Around 45% of Jews are Israeli citizens and 75% of Israeli citizens are Jews.
That's close but not entirely true. The Law of Return in Israel states that all people of Jewish descent are welcome to come and live in Israel for safety anytime. However, Jews who never lived in Israel and never sought that citizenship are not citizens.
