Israel

As of my last knowledge update, Lionel Messi has not made any public statements regarding his support or lack of support for Israel. It is important to note that athletes, like all individuals, have the right to privacy regarding their personal beliefs and political affiliations. Without a direct statement from Messi himself, it is not appropriate to make assumptions about his stance on this issue.

All of the countries that surround Israel have a different culture and religion than Israel. Israel is a Western Jewish culture, whereas Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, the Palestinian Territories (both the West Bank and the Gaza Strip), and Egypt have a Arab Islamic culture.

The question as posed is rather convoluted. I want to say "YES" to the "essence" of the question, i.e. the UN did take a vote integral to Israel becoming a country, but I have to say "NO" since the UN did not actually vote Israel into existence.

The UN voted (affirmatively) on the legitimacy of the Jews of Palestine declaring independence as a state distinct from the more numerous Arabs of Palestine. This vote legitimized the Israeli Declaration of Independence, but did not cause it.

Most people incorrectly believe when the UN passed UNGA Resolution 181 (II) on November 29, 1947, that the UN "created" a Jewish State (Israel) and an Arab State (Palestine) on the map. This is not the case. What the UN Resolution does provide for is the permission for the different ethno-religious groups in Mandatory Palestine to declare a state. In the case of most mandates, the understanding was that the mandate would eventually become independent as one new state, like Iraq or Syria had. The case of Palestine was therefore unique and needed the permission to deviate from the traditional path of independence. Because of there being two states, provisional borders had to be provided, which is why a map was used, but those borders would only come into play if both sides decided to remain at peace.

The Jews acted on the permission granted to them by UN Resolution 181 by declaring independence on May 14, 1948 (nearly six months after the Resolution was passed) and therefore creating the State of Israel.

The antipode (farthest point on the planet from Israel) would be in the middle of the South Pacific Ocean, 700 miles south of French Polynesia (Tahiti), centered near 31°S, 145°W.

Almost all of Africa has antipodes farther north across the equator to around 33°N including Hawaii.

4pm, there is a 7 hour time difference - however as day light saving in Israel is not fixed (dependent on political/religious reasons), and is typically shorter, 9am EST will be at times 3pm...

The diverse climate in Israel, ranging from Mediterranean along the coast to desert in the south, influences activities like agriculture, tourism, and outdoor recreation. The rugged landscape with mountains, valleys, and coastlines also shapes livelihoods by impacting access to resources and influencing settlement patterns. Additionally, the climate and landscape contribute to cultural practices and traditions, such as water conservation and agricultural techniques.

Yes, Egypt shares a border with Israel in the northeast. The border extends through the Sinai Peninsula.

Galileo Galilei (15 February 1564 - 8 January 1642) was a Italian physicist, mathematician, astronomer, and philosopher who played a major role in the Scientific Revolution. His achievements include improvements to the telescope and consequent astronomical observations, and support for Copernicanism. Galileo has been called the "father of modern observational astronomy", the "father of modern physics," the "father of science," and "the Father of Modern Science."

Galileo Galilei will be 446 years today. He was born on February 15, 1564.

(D) Turkey: Eastern Anatolia sits astride a number of minor fault lines and has had numerous earthquakes in the recent past.

Yes, Lyme disease has been reported in Israel. It is primarily found in the northern part of the country where there are wooded areas and suitable habitats for the ticks that transmit the disease. Precautions such as wearing protective clothing and using insect repellent can help prevent Lyme disease in Israel.

The next solar eclipse visible in Jerusalem, Israel will occur on October 25, 2022. It will be an annular eclipse, where the moon will cover the center of the sun, creating a "ring of fire" effect in the sky. Viewing solar eclipses requires proper eye protection to prevent damage to the eyes.

Galileo discovered the four largest moons of Jupiter, now known as the Galilean moons: Io, Europa, Ganymede, and Callisto. He also observed the phases of Venus, providing evidence for the heliocentric model of the solar system proposed by Copernicus.

12.30pm GMT is 2.30pm in Israel. Israel is 2 hours ahead of GMT.

All of Israel is on GMT + 2 hrs - CET+1 hrs and 7hrs ahead of Eastern Time

Summer time is kept but the start/stop dates vary each year and generally do not coincide with summer time as kept in Europe/US. So for a short period the times between Israel and other parts of the world may be different to those mentioned above - for example if Israel stops summer time before Europe there will only be 1 hr time difference to London

No. Israel is in the Israel Standard Time (IST - GMT+2) zone.

The two new kingdoms that emerged were the Kingdom of Israel in the north, with Samaria as its capital, and the Kingdom of Judah in the south, with Jerusalem as its capital.

The irony lies in the church's desire to deny other sects their freedom in order to protect their own beliefs, despite originally seeking freedom for themselves. This contradicts their initial intention and highlights the hypocrisy in their actions.

In Israel, large quantities of potash are extracted by evaporating water from the Dead Sea, which is highly concentrated with mineral salts including potash. The evaporation process allows the potash to be separated and harvested for use in various industries such as agriculture for fertilizer production. Israel is one of the world's leading producers of potash due to the abundance of mineral-rich resources in the Dead Sea.
