Israel (, Yisra'el), officially the State of Israel (
Hebrew: , Medinat Yisra'el; , Dawlat Isrā'īl), is a country in
Southwest Asia located on the southeastern edge of the
Mediterranean Sea. It has borders with

Jews, Israel is the world's only
Jewish state. It is also home to
Arab Muslims,
Christians and
Druze, as well as other religious and ethnic minority groups.
Jerusalem is the nation's capital, seat of government, and largest city.
