Israel (/ˈɪzreɪəl/ or /ˈɪzriːəl/; Hebrew:יִשְׂרָאֵלYisrā'el; Arabic:إِسْرَائِيلIsrāʼīl), officially the State of Israel (Hebrew:מְדִינַת יִשְׂרָאֵלMedīnat Yisrā'el[mediˈnat jisʁaˈʔel]; Arabic:دولة إِسْرَائِيلDawlat Isrāʼīl[dawlat ʔisraːˈʔiːl]), is a country in the Middle East, situated 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 its self-designated capital (unrecognised by the United Nations) and its most populous individual city under the country's governmental administration. Israeli sovereignty over Jerusalem is internationally disputed.
Israel David Bascón Gigato (born 16 March 1987 in Utrera, Seville), known simply as Israel, is a Spanish professional footballer who plays as a right midfielder.
During the 2006 off-season, in August, vastly underplayed at Betis due to the presence of Joaquín in his position, Israel spent time at Chelsea on trial after a move to Real Madrid Castilla failed to materialise. His trial was unsuccessful, however, and the player then left for Mérida UD on a loan deal.
The Land of Israel (Hebrew: אֶרֶץ יִשְׂרָאֵלʼÉreṣ Yiśrāʼēl, Eretz Yisrael) is one of several names for an area of indefinite geographical extension in the Southern Levant. Related biblical, religious and historical English terms include the Land of Canaan, the Promised Land, the Holy Land, and Palestine (q.v. Israel (disambiguation)). The definitions of the limits of this territory vary between passages in the Hebrew Bible, with specific mentions in Genesis 15, Exodus 23, Numbers 34 and Ezekiel 47. Nine times elsewhere in the Bible, the settled land is referred as "from Dan to Beersheba, and three times it is referred as "from the entrance of Hamath unto the brook of Egypt” (1 Kings 8:65, 1 Chronicles 13:5 and 2 Chronicles 7:8).".
These biblical limits for the land differ from the borders of established historical Israelite and later Jewish kingdoms; over time these have included the United Kingdom of Israel, the two separated kingdoms of Israel (Samaria) and Judah, the Hasmonean Kingdom, and the Herodian Kingdom, which at their heights ruled lands with similar but not identical boundaries.
Increase in crimes against Palestinian citizens of Israel
As most of Israel focuses on the COVID-19 crisis, for Palestinian citizens of Israel, a different pandemic dominates, one of gun violence.
That is despite government promises to tackle the problem.
Activists blame a mixture of well-armed and ruthless organised criminal gangs and lack of action from the police.

The Palestinian Citizens of Israel: Domestic Politics, Representation, and Civil Rights
For the 1.7 million Palestinians living as citizens of Israel, deep-seated racism and discrimination are part of everyday life. Israel’s Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman recently chided Palestinians who disagree with his right-wing policies, saying “Those who are against us, there’s nothing to be done—we need to pick up an ax and cut off his head.” Lieberman also reinforced his long-held advocacy of “transfer,” that is, ethnic cleansing of Palestinians by removing them from the state of Israel. And then on the final night of the Israeli election, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu infamously said that "the Arabs are voting in droves," an alarmist warning that their votes could sway the election in a dangerous direction, thus inciting further racism.

For the 1.7 million Palestinians living as citizens of Israel, deep-seated racism and discrimination are part of everyday life. Israel’s Foreign Minister Avigdor Lieberman recently chided Palestinians who disagree with his right-wing policies, saying “Those who are against us, there’s nothing to be done—we need to pick up an ax and cut off his head.” Lieberman also reinforced his long-held advocacy of “transfer,” that is, ethnic cleansing of Palestinians by removing them from the state of Israel. And then on the final night of the Israeli election, Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu infamously said that "the Arabs are voting in droves," an alarmist warning that their votes could sway the election in a dangerous direction, thus inciting further racism.
As a Palestinian lawmaker and Member of the Israeli Knesset, Haneen Al Zoubi has also faced humiliating treatment by Israeli lawmakers, who regularly attack her personally and politically. The Israeli right has targeted MK Al Zoubi for many years, trying to revoke her citizenship and to disqualify her from reelection. The Knesset Ethics Committee suspended her for six months based on her political views and the Israeli High Court affirmed the suspension. Shortly thereafter, the Israeli Election Committee refused to qualify her as a candidate but upon review by an Israeli court, MK Al Zoubi was permitted to run for reelection. The Israeli Election Committee attempted to prevent MK Al Zoubi from running in the 2013 election as well. Despite this massive campaign to silence MK Al Zoubi, she easily won re-election this past March. Her Balad party is now part of the Joint List, a coalition of four Arab parties that garnered thirteen Knesset seats in the March 2015 election. MK Al Zoubi will talk about this newly empowered alliance and its potential in improving the human, civil, and political rights of the Palestinian citizens of Israel. She will discuss the recent elections and the ramifications of the Likud party winning another term.
