srael is bordered by Lebanon in the north, Syria and Jordan in the east, and Egypt in the south-west. It has coastlines on the Mediterranean in the west and the Gulf of Eilat (also known as the Gulf of Aqaba) in the south.
During the Six-Day War of 1967, Israel captured the West Bank from the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan, the Golan Heights from Syria, Gaza Strip (which was under Egyptian occupation), and Sinai from Egypt. It withdrew all troops and settlers from Sinai by 1982 and from the Gaza Strip by September 12, 2005. The future status of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip remains to be determined. Israel annexed the Golan Heights.
The sovereign territory of Israel, excluding all territories captured by Israel in 1967, is 20,770 km² (8,019 mi²) in area (1% is water). The total area under Israeli law, including East Jerusalem and the Golan Heights, is 22,145 km² or 8,550 mi²; with a little less than one per cent being water. The total area under Israeli control, including the military-controlled and Palestinian-governed territory of the West Bank, is 28,023 km² (10,820 mi²) (~1% water).
The climate of the coastal areas can be very different from that of the mountainous areas, particularly during the winter months. The northern mountains can get cold, wet and often snowy and even Jerusalem experiences snow every couple of years. The coastal regions, where Tel Aviv and Haifa are located, have a typical Mediterranean climate with cool, rainy winters and hot, dry summers.

It depends on where in Israel. For a tiny little country, Israel has incredibly varied weather! From the snowy mountain peaks of the Golan, to the temperate valleys of the Galilee, to the windy Judean Hills to the dry desert of the Negev to the sunny beaches of Eilat. For lots of weather- and climate- related stories, plus places to go, among many other anecdotes, see my new book MOVING UP: An Aliyah Journal (www.aliyahbook.com).

Why is everybody so excited approximately close by short term climate version? It says no longer something as to long term international tendencies. 10 tiers decrease than commonly used? i do no longer think of so. June at my area in eastern Mass. grew to become right into somewhat better than 3F tiers decrease than commonly used (1971-2000 baseline). Is it obtainable that someplace in continental US it grew to become into 10 tiers less warm than commonly used for the month of June? possibly, yet in no way the U. S. as an entire. Of the 1st 6 months of this 12 months 4 have been above commonly used and 2 decrease than commonly used at my area. The GISS temperature checklist and the HadCrut documents are no longer hidden or saved secret. some human beings curiously do only no longer understand the place to look.

the weather here is your typical Mediterranean weather...
temperatures varies between 5-20 degrees in different areas...
it's winter now so cold in Jerusalem 5-15 (Bring a warm coat and a woolly hat)
Tel-Aviv is a bit warmer 10-18. It's gonna rain in the next few days but otherwise it's sunny most of the time...
Enjoy your visit.
