Best Answer

Although it was founded under the title of "The State of Israel", Israel is considered a modern country.

For most countries, the word "state" means the same thing as "country". Think of Israel as a country with only 1 state in it.

So it can be called either word.

What state is Israel in?

Israel doesn't have "states" like the United States does, it does have less powerful adminstrative districts called mehozot, of which there are 6 or 7, depending on your political view. Tel Aviv District, Jerusalem District, Haifa District, North District, Central District, Southern District, and the 7th being Judea and Samaria, better known as the West Bank, which is up for interpretation. HOWEVER, these are far from states, and should not be considered states at all. Nobody says that they are from a certain district, like people say they are from a certain state in the U.S. Note: Israel is about the size of Massachusetts.
