It borders Lebanon in the north, Syria in the northeast, Jordan in the east, and Egypt on the southwest, and contains geographically diverse features within its relatively small area.

Partition was accepted by Zionist leaders and lead to the 19471948 War. Israel declared independence on May 14, 1948 and neighboring Arab states attacked the next day.
