1. Egypt got involved in the Arab-Israeli conflict in the Middle East because Palestine was divided into a Jewish part and Arab part. Egypt was a part of the Arab group that was involved in this situation. Egypt, along with Jordan, Iraq, and Syria, declared war on Israel.






3. In the Middle East, Egypt's enemies were the Israelites, because they tried to take more land that was given to them. They tried to take the land of the Arabs that belonged to us and tried to claim it as Jewish land.



4. Our friends in the Middle East were Jordan, Iraq, and Syria because we were all fighting for the land that was granted to us. We were all fighting for the same cause.



5. Egypt wants the land that they think truly belongs to them, to be returned to the Arabs.
