Israel's location causes confusion about its continent

Israel is geographically located in Asia, specifically the Middle East, despite its proximity to Africa and Europe, leading to frequent confusion about its continental identity. This confusion stems from Israel's position at the intersection of three continents, bordering Egypt in Africa and sharing cultural and historical ties with both Africa and Europe, influencing its demographics and diplomacy. Its participation in European events and strong ties with the EU also contribute to the misconception. Despite being in Asia, Israel's cultural and political alignment with the West, along with its advanced science and technology, further complicates its continental association, making it a unique geopolitical entity.
