The so-called Middle East is really annexed North Africa. After Suez Canal created, this part of North Africa was called "Middle East."

========================================

Israel is considered part of Asia. A look at a map will reveal

that this is quite reasonable.

========================================

As said above Israel is part of Asia (middle east being more of a cultural group of countries- islamist, than a continent).

That said Israel is at the crossroads between Europe Asia and Africa. This means that while its geographical grouping is definitely Asia, it holds more in common culturally with the rest of europe (It is far less arabic in origin than the rest of the middle eastern countries) - and is treated as a member of europe in some minor ways (e.g. being included in Eurovision Song Contest). From a flora and fauna point of view Israel is shown to be the central country bordering all three continents, as historically animals from all three continents roamed here, though most of these are now locally extinct.

What two continents is Israel on?

Israel is part of the continent of ASIA, specifically in the region called "the Middle East." "Southwest Asia" is also being slowly adopted as an alternative for the term "Middle East." Israel is very close both to North Africa and south-eastern Europe, but is not part of Africa or Europe. This is because the internationally accepted demarcation of the border between Asia and Africa is the Suez Canal; and the demarcation between Asia and Europe runs through the Urals and the Dardanelles, making Israel an Asian country.It is important to note that for UN Security Council rotations, Israel is considered part of the "Western Europe and Others" group, since the Arab nations blocked its entry into the Middle East group. It also shares a lot of legal and cultural traditions with Europe.It is also worth noting that like several other Middle Eastern and Caucasus countries, Israel is allowed to participate in the Eurovision song contest. Additionally, Israel plays in the European Football Cup.
