Why is Israel a holy city for Jews?

Israel is a country, not a city.

The Land of Israel is holy to Jews because God promised it to them in both The Bible (Exodus 23:31a) and the Qur'an (5:21). There are numerous holy sites in Israel for Jews such as the site of the Great Temple in Jerusalem and the Western Wall, tombs of the patriarchs and prophets, old synagogues, and historical relics.

Exodus 23:31a (NIV): 31 "I will establish your borders from the Red Sea to the Mediterranean Sea, and from the desert to the Euphrates River.

Qur'an 5:21 (Sahih International): 21 O my people, enter the Holy Land which Allah has assigned to you and do not turn back [from fighting in Allah 's cause] and [thus] become losers."
