Israel: Not a European colony | Timesofisrael

COVID-19 has brought the World Health Organisation into global spotlight. 
Visitors to its website have noticed that it lists Israel in Europe and the West Bank and Gaza in Asia.
Israel’s geographical location is in Asia. 
Yet its identity often confuses both non-Israelis and Israelis, alike.
At times, it aligns itself with Europe by choice, such as its participation in Eurovision. 
Other times, it tries to align itself with Asia, but is pushed towards re-aligning itself with Europe.
