Yes and No. It's in Egypt and built nearly a century before Israel existed. However, due to Egypt's belligerence towards Israel between 1948-1979, the Suez Canal was illegally closed off to Israeli shipping. In 1956, this prompted a war from Israel to acquire control of the Canal to offset the Egyptian blockade of the Straits of Tiran. In 1967, Israel conquered all of the Sinai Peninsula up to the Suez Canal, which was only ceded back to Egypt in 1979.
When did Israel recognize Egypt?

Who would win in a war between Egypt and Israel?
Unknown, but it is an unlikely scenario as Egypt and Israel buried the hatchet long ago.

Israel eventually drove Egypt back but at a very heavy cost. After Egypt and Israel made peace, the Sinai was ceded back to Egypt and the two countries have not fought since.

Is the Gaza Stripe part of Israel?
The Gaza Strip is an anomaly. It was part of Egypt, but when Egypt and Israel signed a peace treaty, Egypt refused to take back the Gaza Strip. Under international law, it was considered part of Israel, but Israel does not believe in occupying other areas, so they declined to take over the Gaza Strip. It is not part of any country, nor is it independent.
