What are the continents that the Middle East connects?

Answer 1

Answer: Israel is only part of the continent of Asia.

Additional Discussion

There is no second continent to which Israel belongs in terms of landmass, but there are cultural or political commonalities which Israel shares outside of Asia.

Europe: It is important to note that for UN Security Council rotations, Israel is considered part of the "Western Europe and Others Group" as 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 (primarily European) Eurovision Song Contest. Additionally, Israel plays in the European Football Cup.

Africa: During the Arab-Israeli War of 1973, the Israeli army crossed the Suez Canal and made advances towards Cairo. The small amount of land occupied in this way for less than a week was in Africa. The Armistice, however, returned Israel to the East Bank of the Suez Canal, which is in Asia. Israel has never exercised long-term civilian or military control in Africa.
