Palestine – land inthe Middle East, on the southeastern shore of the Mediterranean Sea and the northern shore of the Red Sea..[1] This was followed by massive migration of Jews from both Europe and the Muslim countries to Palestine , and of Arabs from Palestine , contributing to the extensive and still ongoing Arab–Israeli conflict. Israel's financial capital and technology center is Tel Aviv[2] and the proclaimed capital is Jerusalem, although the state's sovereignty over the city of Jerusalem is internationally unrecognized.[3][4] About 43% of the world's Jews live in Israel today, the largest Jewish community in the world.[5]
