The first Arab country to recognize Israel as a state. Under King Hussein of Jordan, a treaty was signed with Israel, which begins trade and diplomatic ties. Therefore, making Jordan the second state to recognize Israel, following the first, which was Egypt.
Not yet, because of the occupation of Palestine and Israel's state terrorism
The Dead Sea or Salty Sea is situated between the State of Israel and the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan.
No. No Arab nations recognize the sovereignty of the state of Israel.
The Soviet Union was the first country to recognize Israel on May 17, 1948, less than a week after the Israeli Declaration of Independence. When the Israeli leadership pushes for Arab countries to recognize Israel as a Jewish State, what they actually mean is that want the Arab countries not just to recognize the Israeli government, but the right for Israel to be primarily Jewish State. A number of Arabs outside of government make a sort-of-work-around for accepting Israel in that they accept Israel as a country controlling a certain piece of planet, but believe all of the Palestinians who used to live there and all of their descendants should be allowed to return. If this happened Israel would become an Arab majority country and defeat the entire purpose of Zionism (the belief that there should be a Jewish State) and Israel's existence. As a result, Israeli leadership presses the Arabs to recognize Israel as it is, not Israel as they would like it. In the case of the USSR, which recognized Israel first, the USSR was quite willing to recognize Israel according to the tenets of Zionism, so although the term "recognize Israel as a Jewish State" was not used, the intent was the one desired by those who use those magic words.
Sadat from Egypt
No. Cuba does not recognize the State of Israel.
Egypt (Anwar Sadat) in 1979 and Jordan (Hussein ibn Abdullah) in 1994.
The Dead Sea is not located in a state. The Dead Sea is located between Jordan and Isreal, approximately 31 degrees north and 36 degrees west. The Dead Sea is actually a lake, in the Jordan Rift Valley.
Yes. The United States was the first government to declare Israel as a sovereign nation. Alabama fell first in the voting order among the states to recognize Israel's sovereignty.
Arab-Israeli relations remain quite poor. Jordan's government maintains official relations with Israel, but most Jordanians are not sympathetic to this. Egypt's relationship with Israel is even more distant. The remainder of the Arab World refuses to even recognize Israel on terms that Israel would ever accept. (Arab proposals would require Palestinian Immigration to Israel to make it an Arab-majority state.)
No country has ever specifically performed the act of recognizing Israel as a Jewish State when they performed the act of recognition. However, US politicians have referred to Israel as a Jewish State and made clear that they believe Israel to be a Jewish State.
