ABSTRACT
The wars that took place in the Middle East between Israel and the Arabs recall a boxing match divided into "rounds," in the course of which the boxers pay with blood and lives in order to gain points given out by superpower judges according to asymmetrical rules. The roots of the conception of Israeli-Arab wars as a military boxing match carried out in rounds reach back to the year 1948, and they are grounded in a basic situation assessment of the strategic and geopolitical conditions on the eve of the War of Independence. Following the United Nations General Assembly resolution of November 1947 to partition Palestine into two states, Jewish and Arab, Israel was compelled to fight its War of Independence. On the eve of the Sinai Campaign elements in the political echelon held to the view that Israel had a chance to profit from the conflict between Egypt and the British and French.
