Answer:
(3). Challenges Facing Israel as a Nation
Explanation:
Israel matches all three characteristics listed in the question.
Israel is bordered by hostile countries, because Arab nations like Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and Egypt have always had complicated relations with Israel, ever since the country came to be after World War II.
Israel also has very limited arable land, because the country is very small, and most of its territory is either desert, or semi-desert. For this same very reason, israel has scarce water resources.
Finally, Israel has suffered from several intifadas, which are popular rebellions from the arab populations of Cisjordania and Gaza, the two territorial entities that conform the state of Palestine, which borders Israel.
The winds of revolution sweeping Egypt today aren’t the first that have ravaged that nation.
Most history textbooks open with a description of ancient Egypt as a towering civilization that, for more than a millennium, led mankind’s intellectual, political and cultural advancement. Each year, millions of visitors marvel at the pyramids jutting from Egypt’s dunes, at the mummified remains of the ancient pharaohs, and at Egypt’s mountains of other artifacts and relics—all testimony to the power the civilization once held.
But perhaps the most striking facet of Egyptian history is its precipitous fall.
Modern-day Egyptians, after all, are not descended from those ancient societies that constructed the Giza Pyramid Complex, the Great Sphinx, and other momentous structures. They have no connection to the early dynastic peoples that pioneered new frontiers in science, mathematics and art, and that once dominated the civilized world. Today’s Egypt is inhabited and ruled by Arabs; before that it was under British control; before that it was controlled by various Muslim peoples, including the Ottomans; before that it was the Romans; before that the Greeks; and before that the Persians.
Egypt has resurfaced intermittently in the past 2,500 years of world history,but always as the territory of a foreign nation or empire. What happened toancient Egypt—the unique and independent civilization established by the pharaohs, the nation that once reigned over mankind? That Egypt has clearly vanished.
