Israel - Statistics & Facts
Israel is a wealthy and highly developed country in West Asia, in both the Middle East and Mediterranean regions, with a complex history and significant presence in global geopolitics. Established in 1948, Israel is the only Jewish-majority country in the world, however, the circumstances of its founding, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict, and regular hostilities with its Arab neighbors have contributed to constant tension and militarization in the region. Despite this adversity, Israel is considered the most advanced country in the Middle East by many metrics, it has the highest living standards in the area, and is a world leader in many high-technology industries.
