Abstract

Several factors came together in the formation of the political, military and commercial importance of the city of Ashkelon, as it is considered the northern gateway for Egypt to penetrate the Levant and control its cities, and its commercial importance is no less important than its political position, as it is an important commercial port, as it passes through trade between the East And the West, so we find Egyptian politics always keen to have Ashkelon under its protections and subordination, and this situation exists as long as the Egyptian authority is strong, except that in the last periods of BC and after the weakness of the Egyptian authority it came under the Assyrian rule and the gate from which the armies entered to invade Egypt, These facts are all confirmed by the historical blogs on the topic.
