Israel is located in West Asia and belongs to Asia. Although Israel has traditionally had closer relations with European countries, the division of countries is based on geographical location. Part of the territory under the jurisdiction of Israel is not the official territory of Israel. Moreover, Israel is dominated by Jews, surrounded by Arabs and the Islamic world, which is particularly prominent. It is not recognized by some neighboring countries, so its status is rather embarrassing.

Israel is a country located in the Levant region of West Asia, on the southeast coast of the Mediterranean Sea, bordering Lebanon in the north, Syria and Jordan in the east and Egypt in the southwest. Israel declared on 1948. Israel is a relatively developed capitalist country and the only liberal and democratic country in the Middle East.

After the founding of Israel, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Syria and Lebanon declared war on Israel, and Israel's war of independence began from 65438 to 0948. Syrian, Lebanese and Iraqi troops in the north were blocked near the border, while Jordanian troops from the east occupied the east of Jerusalem and attacked the west of the city. However, the Jewish militia forces successfully stopped the Jordanian army, while the underground national army organized troops to stop the Egyptian army from attacking from the south.

Since June, the United Nations has declared a one-month ceasefire order, during which the Israel Defense Forces were formally established. After several months of fighting, the two sides reached a ceasefire agreement at 1949, and demarcated a temporary border, called the "green line". Israel gained an additional 23.5% jurisdiction west of the Jordan River, while Jordan occupied a mountainous area in southern Israel and Samaria, which was later called the West Bank. Egypt occupied a small piece of land in the coastal area, which was later called the Gaza Strip.

A large number of Arabs fled the newly established Jewish state, and Palestinians called this exile a "catastrophe." It is estimated that there are 400,000 to 900,000 Palestinian refugees in exile, and the United Nations estimates that there are 765,438+065,438+0000. The unresolved conflict between Israel and Arab countries and the problem of Palestinian refugees continue to this day.

With the 1948 war, the Jewish population in the West Bank and Gaza began to evacuate to Israel, and a large number of Jewish refugees from Arab countries tripled the population of Israel. In the next few years, nearly 850,000 Spanish Jews fled or were expelled from Arab countries, of which about 600,000 emigrated to Israel, while others emigrated to Europe and the United States.
