What else can I help you with?
Is lebanon in Jerusalem?
No. First of all, Jerusalem is a city and Lebanon is a country, so it would be more natural to ask "Is Jerusalem in Lebanon?" However, Jerusalem is in Israel/Palestine, not Lebanon, so the answer is still "No".
What countries and bodies of water border israel?
The countries that share international boundaries with Israel are Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, and Egypt.
Can you get into Israel after being in Lebanon?
Yes, but you can't do the opposite. Also, note that the border between Lebanon and Israel is shut. To go by land, you must cross into Syria, then to Jordan and then to Israel. Given the situation in Syria today, it would be more advisable to fly straight to Jordan to "cross the border".
What is the state of Israeli -Arab relations today?
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.)
Is Lebanon a member of the OPEC?
No. Israel has no petroleum to export, so cannot legitimately aspire to membership in any organization of petroleum exporting countries. Even if Israel had petroleum to export, it is unlikely that it would be able to join OPEC because over half of that organization's membership does not recognize the State of Israel.
Second Lebanon War 2006?
Israel won the second Lebanon war, but it wasn't a very pretty win. Israel was effective in occupying parts of Southern Lebanon, and Israel was also able to destroy almost all of the enemy's long range weapons and infrastructure. But the fact that rockets continued to hit Israel despite these achievements is somewhat a mystery. It is widley beleived that the rocket launchers would launch from civilian homes, knowing that Israel wouldn't attack. So essentially, the hizballah terrorists repetidly commited this war crime without any condemnation. If I hade to grade Israel on her performance in the war, She gets a B+. I would give hizballah a failing grade (F), but they get an A in turning the stench of defeat in to the smell of false victory. Neverhteless, Israel prevalied in every single battle on the ground in Lebanon, despite rumors of harsh Lebanese resistance.
How far is it from Lebanon to Israel?
The two countries share a border, along Israel's north / Lebanon's south.Along that line, the distance between them is zero.In terms of getting from Lebanon to Israel, you would need to travel through Syria and Jordan before crossing the Israeli-Jordanian border. This trip is roughly 60 miles or 100 kilometers. There are two things worth noting about this travel.This can only be done from Lebanon to Israel (as opposed to from Israel to Lebanon) since Israel will accept someone with a Lebanese and Syrian passport stamp (unhappily, but they will) whereas Lebanon and Syria explicitly ban Israeli-stamped passports.Syria is currently in a state of civil war, so it is not a smart idea to drive through Syria.
What is the state of Arab-Israeli relations today?
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.)
Where would be a good place to travel in the middle east?
If you are not Jewish, popular destinations include: Egypt, Israel, Palestine (particularly Bethlehem), UAE, Jordan, Lebanon, and Dubai. If you are Jewish, your best options are Egypt and Israel.
Are Fijians really the lost tribe of israel?
Very unlikely. The only potentially useful test would be DNA analyses. It is far more likely that the current populations of Arabs in Israel, Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, and Iraq, are, at least partially, descended from the Lost Tribes of Israel.
Who won the Israel-Lebanon War of 2006?
Answer 1Wherever you see a military conflict in the history of modern Israel, and that Israel still exists after it, you know that Israel didn't lose. Had Israel lost, it would no longer exist.Just as on so many previous occasions of violence and military action, there was nothing worthy of the world's attention going on until Israel fired back. Later, Israel withdrew its forces from Lebanon at the request of the UN, in return for the stationing of a UN 'Peacekeeping' force in southern Lebanon, and a guarantee that the shelling and rocketing of northern Israeli towns and farms from Lebanon would be prevented.Answer 2Contrary to the view presented in Answer 1, the 2006 War in Lebanon was not an existential war for Israel (as opposed to the 1948-9, 1967, and 1973 wars). Therefore, judging Israel's victory or defeat cannot come from "and the flag was still there." The dominant opinion, both in Israel and the Arab World was that Israel lost with a differing opinion on how badly.There is still research being done on why Israel was much less successful in the Lebanese War than it had been in previous engagements. The general theory is that Israel was unable to effectively fight a counter-insurgency war in hostile territory. Hezbollah was too entrenched in the various south Lebanese neighborhoods for Israel to do anything less than carpet-bombing if they wanted to get everything, but Israel refused to engage in such conduct and attempted to go door to door. Hezbollah also had superior command over the terrain since they were fighting on "home ground". Israel's stated aim was to either deal a massive blow to Hezbollah, recover soldiers Regev and Goldwasser or both. They achieved neither. (Regev and Goldwasser's corpses were eventually recovered in a prisoner transfer deal with Hezbollah a few years later.)
Why did Israel invade Lebanon from 1981-1982?
Several Lebanese militant groups, such as the PLO, began to fire rockets into Northern Israel in 1981 and 1982. Israel finally responded by entering the Lebanese Civil War which was going on concurrently with the aim of removing such militant groups from Lebanon.
