The official answer is no, because geographers consider the boundary between Africa and Asia to be the line from Rafah (in the Gaza Strip) to Eilat (in the South of Israel), which means that Egypt is in Africa, while the land of Israel/Palestine is in Asia.
But, if you were to ask a geologist instead of a geographer, he would say that Israel/Palestine is in Africa rather than Asia, because the boundary between the African and Asian continental plates runs down the Jordan rift valley, which is the border between Israel/Palestine and Jordan.
So in one sense, we are indeed in Africa.

It is in the middle east. In Asia but unfortunately the Israelis stole it and change it's name to Israel so now if you open the Atlas you see only Israel although half of the country is supposed to be Palestine.
peace

Not at all.
Today the only place called Palestine is in Texas (USA).
