Israel, 
is a
sovereign state
in
Western Asia
. The country is situated in the
Middle East
at the southeastern shore of the
Mediterranean Sea
and the northern shore of the
Gulf of Aqaba
in the
Red Sea
. It shares land borders with
Lebanon
to the north,
Syria
in the northeast,
Jordan
on the east, the
Palestinian territories
(which are claimed by 
the
State of Palestine
and are partially controlled 
by Israel) comprising the
West Bank
and
Gaza Strip
to the east and west, respectively, 
and Egypt
to the southwest. It contains 
geographically diverse features within its relatively small area. Israel’s
financial
and
technology center
is
Tel Aviv
while
Jerusalem
is both the self-designated capital 
and
most populous individual city
under the 
country’s governmental administration. Israeli sovereignty over Jerusalem is
internationally unrecognized
.

On 
29 November 1947, the
United Nations General Assembly
recommended the 
adoption and implementation of the
Partition Plan
for
Mandatory Palestine
. This UN plan specified 
borders for new Arab and Jewish states and also specified an area of
Jerusalem and its environs
which was to be 
administered by the UN under an international regime. The end of the
British Mandate for Palestine
was set for 
midnight on 14 May 1948. That day,
David Ben-Gurion
, the executive head of the
Zionist Organization
and president of the
Jewish Agency for Palestine
,
declared
“the establishment of a
Jewish state
in
Eretz Israel
, to be known as the State of 
Israel,” which would start to function from the termination of the mandate. The 
borders of the new state were not specified in the declaration. Neighboring Arab 
armies
invaded
the former Palestinian mandate on the 
next day and fought the Israeli forces. Israel has since fought
several wars
with neighboring Arab states, in 
the course of which it has
occupied
the West Bank,
Sinai Peninsula
(1956–57, 1967–82), part of
Southern Lebanon
(1982–2000), Gaza Strip 
(1967–2005; still considered occupied after
2005 disengagement
) and the
Golan Heights
. It extended its laws to the 
Golan Heights and
East Jerusalem
, but not the West Bank.
Efforts
to resolve the
Israeli–Palestinian conflict
have not resulted 
in peace. However, peace treaties between Israel and both
Egypt
and
Jordan
have successfully been signed. Israel’s 
occupation of Gaza, the West Bank and East Jerusalem is the world’s
longest military occupation
in modern times.

The
population of Israel
, as defined by the
Israel Central Bureau of Statistics
, was 
estimated in 2016 to be 8,476,600 people. It is the world’s only
Jewish-majority state
, with 6,345,400 citizens, 
or 74.9%, being designated as
Jewish
. The country’s second largest group of 
citizens are denoted as
Arabs
, numbering 1,760,400 people (including 
the Druze and most East Jerusalem Arabs). The great majority of Israeli Arabs 
are Sunni
Muslims
, with smaller but significant numbers 
of semi-settled

Negev Bedouins
; the rest are
Christians
and
Druze
. Other far smaller minorities include
Maronites
,
Samaritans
,
Dom people
and
Roma
,
Black Hebrew Israelites
, other
Sub-Saharan Africans
,
Armenians
,
Circassians
,
Vietnamese boat people
, and others. Israel also 
hosts a significant population of non-citizen foreign workers and asylum seekers 
from Africa and Asia.

In its
Basic Laws
, Israel defines itself as a
Jewish and democratic state
. Israel is a
representative democracy
with a parliamentary 
system,
proportional representation
and
universal suffrage
. The
prime minister
serves as head of government and 
the Knesset
serves as the
legislature
. Israel is a
developed country
and an
OECD
member, with the
35th-largest

economy
in the world by nominal gross domestic 
product as of 2015. The country benefits from a highly skilled workforce and is 
among the most educated countries in the world with the one of the highest 
percentage of its citizens holding a tertiary education degree. The country has 
the
highest standard of living in the Middle East
 
and the
fourth highest in Asia
, and has
one of the highest life expectancies
in the 
world.
