Juan Cole tells the story of Napoleon's invasion of Egypt. Revealing the young general's reasons for leading the expedition against Egypt in 1798 and showcasing his fascinating views of the Orient, Cole delves into the psychology of the military titan and his entourage. He paints a multi-faceted portrait of the daily travails of the soldiers in Napoleon's army, including how they imagined Egypt, how their expectations differed from what they found, and how they grappled with military challenges in a foreign land. Cole ultimately reveals how Napoleon's invasion, the first modern attempt to invade the Arab world, invented and crystallized the rhetoric of liberal imperialism.
Napoleon and the French army left Egypt in 1799, but the French remained in Egypt for another two years, until they finally surrendered to the British on Sept. 2, 1801 turning over, among other things, the prized Rosetta stone.
Before he departed in October 1799, Napoleon captured Gaza and Jaffa (part of modern Tel Aviv), but the roguish Sir Sidney Smith engineered a huge British victory at Acre, the city known as “the key to Palestine.”

p.s. This, of course, does not take into account the superstition, mythology if you "feel" better, of the so-called "Torah." see, including, but not limited to, so-called "Deuteronomy," a Moses story, at Deuteronomy 10:20 etc et.
All good history related to the strategic importance of Palestine.
The discovery of Palestinian petroleum fields made the region even more important for the British Navy that was converting its warships’ boilers to burn raw petroleum instead of coal.
The US and UK fossil fuels companies want to control access to all of the oil/gas fields of the entire Middle East.
The newly (1948) created state of Israel is a US military staging area and listening post for such control.
1789! Since 1789 ... evidence;
Napoleon’s Egypt,
Invading the Middle East

Behind everything: are the British!
And behind them are the globalist banking families (and their lackeys). ;-)
