The phoenicians founded many city-states. These city-states. These states often competed. Do you think it would have
made more sense to cooperate?

Yes, of course, but they were commercial rivals just like the city states of renaissance Italy in the 1200s, 1300s, and 1400s. The lack of unity among the Italian states meant that consolidated European countries such as Spain, France, and later the Austro-Hungarian empire would scoop them up piecemeal.
There is almost always strength in unity. The Huns were only a powerful force when all the tribes were united under a strong leader such as Attila. After Attila died in 453 CE, the Huns largely disappeared from historical prominence, yet the warriors were still there. They just did not fight as a united force. It's one of the lessons of human history, unity = strength

Well, yes, it would have made more sense if they had cooperated. :)
