עברית [1] ישראל - מדינת ישראל

מדינת ישראל (ערבית: دولة إسرائيل, תעתיק: דאולת איסראאיל) היא דמוקרטיה פרלמנטרית הנמצאת במזרח התיכון, לחוף הים התיכון ומוגדרת כמדינה יהודית ודמוקרטית. רוב תושבי המדינה הם יהודים, אך יש בה מיעוט גדול של ערבים מוסלמים, וקבוצות מיעוט אחרות. ישראל גובלת בים התיכון ובמצרים במערב, בים סוף בדרום, בירדן במזרח, בסוריה בצפון-מזרח ובלבנון בצפון. בין ישראל למצרים, לחוף הים התיכון, נמצאת רצועת עזה, שהיא שטח בשליטת הרשות הפלסטינית. באזור ההר המרכזי שבין ישראל לירדן נמצאת הגדה המערבית, הידועה גם כיהודה ושומרון, שטח שנמצא בשליטה משולבת של ישראל והרשות הפלסטינית ומעמדו הסופי טרם הוכרע. בין ישראל לסוריה נמצאת רמת הגולן, שטח שסופח לישראל ב-1967, אך סוריה ממשיכה לתבוע ריבונות עליו.
