Abstract

Israel is a small state, even by European standards. With a total area of 21, 946 km2, it measures 420km from north to south and no more than 100km at its widest point from east to west. As a result of the continuing state of belligerency with all its neighbours (with the exception of Egypt), Israel is in effect an “island state” with very few connections to its neighbours.
