Israel is geographically located in the Middle East, which is part of the Asian continent. This placement situates Israelis as technically Asian, given Israel’s position in the southwestern corner of Asia. Historically, Israel’s location at the junction of Africa, Asia, and Europe has made it a cultural and trade crossroads, blending influences from these regions. Israelis, therefore, belong to a Middle Eastern and Asian identity. While some may view Israelis as distinct from other Asian identities, Israel’s place on the Asian continent ties it firmly to this region, blending ancient Asian, African, and European cultural legacies.
