Israel, known officially as the State of Israel, occupies a significant position in the Southern Levant region of West Asia. Its borders are shared with Lebanon to the north, Syria to the northeast, Jordan to the east, the Red Sea to the south, Egypt to the southwest, and the Mediterranean Sea to the west. Additionally, it shares territories with the West Bank to the east and the Gaza Strip to the southwest.

Tel Aviv serves as the focal point for finance, commerce, and technology within the country, while Jerusalem is the designated capital, despite international dispute over Israeli sovereignty in East Jerusalem.

Hebrew stands as the official language of Israel. Governed as a unitary parliamentary republic, the nation's current President is Isaac Herzog, with Benjamin Netanyahu serving as Prime Minister.

As of the 2024 estimate, Israel's population stands at approximately 9,890,720.
