Currently in Israel, there is controversy over who owns the Gaza strip. This is between Israel and Palestine. Both sides believe that the Gaza strip belongs to them, and is currently under the control of Hamas, a Palestinian Islamic political party. Recently, Israel tried to build a Jewish housing settlement there, and were shut down by rioters. There are currently peace talks over the issue.
Israel is located in the Middle east on the eastern shore of the Mediterranean Sea. It's neighbors are Lebanon to the north, Syria in the northeast, Jordan and the West Bank in the east, and Egypt and the Gaza Strip in the southwest. Israel is a mainly Jewish state, and has a rich history, being the starting point of Islam, Judaism, and Christianity.
