What continent is Israel considered to be in?

Question

Tell me the fact not just what you think

Answer 1

Israel is in the South West corner of Asia and at the South Eastern shore of the Mediterranean Sea. Geographically it's at the crossroads of Europe, Asia and Africa. It's also bordered by Lebanon to the North, Syria to the North East Jordan to the East and Egypt to the South West. Its Western shoreline is on the Mediterranean Sea and it occupies a narrow strip at the extreme South along the Red Sea.

For the sake of simplifying it and minimizing confusion, Asia is seen mostly as its continent.

Answer 2

Western Asia.

Answer 3

Israel is definately in Asia, although it is very close to Africa !!!

Answer 4

Asia.  The boundary with Europe is normally taken as the Bosphorus in Istanbul and the Ural Mountains in Russia.  So it's very arbitrary.  The Urals aren't a very imposing mountain range at all.  But there's no doubt that Israel is in Asia, not Europe or Africa, even though all three continents are really one landmass.

Answer 5

Its in Asia technically. Israel is the most beautiful country I have ever been to.

Answer 6

Israel is located in the Asian continent, but because of political problems with the Arab countries that falls in Asia too, Israel is considered a European country.

Israel officially is recognized as an European country,although it is located in Asia, it falls southern Lebanon,Syria,and Turkey,where Turkey is the border of Asia and Europe,more precisely the Bosfor.
