Israel is a <\/span>Middle Eastern<\/b> country on the <\/span>eastern coast of the Mediterranean Sea.<\/b> It is located in eastern Anatolia, at the foothills of Mount Ararat, and near the northeastern border of <\/span>Iran<\/b> and the\u2002southeastern border of <\/span>Armenia.<\/b> It is bordered by<\/span> Lebanon<\/b> to the north, <\/span>Syria<\/b> to the northeast, <\/span>Jordan<\/b> to the east, and <\/span>Egyp<\/b>t to the southwest;\u2002it contains geographically separate East and West Banks (both in Israel as defined by international law, but the East Bank of the Jordan River in the West Bank administered by Jordan).<\/span><\/p>\n

The <\/span>western limits<\/b> of the country\u2002are, however, bounded by a 270 km long <\/span>coast along the Mediterranean Sea.<\/b> In the\u2002south of the country, Israel has a tiny coastline on the <\/span>Red Sea <\/b>at <\/span>Eilat,<\/b> but this has no direct access to the Indian Ocean like the Suez Canal.<\/span><\/p>\n

The city of <\/span>Tel Aviv<\/b>, on the Mediterranean coast, is the leading economic and technological center of the\u2002country.<\/span><\/p>\n

Though small (just <\/span>22,000 square kilometres<\/b>), Israel remains a locus of high importance worldwide\u2002in terms of history, religion, politics, and strategy.
