Answer:
The small states of Phenicia and Israel developed due to the decline of the Persian Empire and the Turkish-Ottoman Empire.
Explanation:
Phenicia was a group of city-states located in what is now Lebanon. They had commercial relations with many peoples, mainly the Hebrews and the Persians. However, even in the face of trade relations, the Persian empire oppressed the realization of the state of Phenicia with the violent Persian expansion, and Phenicia could only stabilize with the fall of the Persian Empire.
The state of Israel, on the other hand, took years to be declared and this was only possible after the fall of the Turkish-Ottoman empire, after the Second World War. Britain has seized the lands of the Turkish-Ottoman empire by handing them over to Israel through political agreements.
