It is part of Asia. Everything east of the Suez Canal is Asia; everything to the west of it is Africa. Cyprus is also part of Asia, even though people dumbly persist in caling it Europe. Language has nothing to do with geography.

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.

Is israel in north Africa?

The Suez Canal is often considered to be the boundary between Asia and Africa. The shortest distance between a point on Israel's southeastern boundary and a point on the Suez Canal is about 118 miles. Of course, the distance covers a very wide range, depending on what points you choose. My brother's home in Netanya is something like 4,700 miles from the home of his good friend in Capetown, South Africa.
