COUNTRY STUDIES Israel - GEOGRAPHY Israel - Geography Israel Topography Climate Israel Israel - Topography Israel The country is divided into four regions: the coastal plain, the central hills, the Jordan Rift Valley, and the Negev Desert. The Mediterranean coastal plain stretches from the Lebanese border in the north to Gaza in the south, interrupted only by Cape Carmel at Haifa Bay. It is about forty kilometers wide at Gaza and narrows toward the north to about five kilometers at the Lebanese border. The region is fertile and humid (historically malarial) and is known for its citrus and viniculture. The plain is traversed by several short streams, of which only two, the Yarqon and Qishon, have permanent water flows. East of the coastal plain lies the central highland region. In the north of this region lie the mountains and hills of Upper Galilee and Lower Galilee; farther to the south are the Samarian Hills with numerous small, fertile valleys; and south of Jerusalem are the mainly barren hills of Judea. The central highlands average 610 meters in height and reach their highest elevation at Mount Meron, at 1,208 meters, in Galilee near Zefat (Safad). Several valleys cut across the highlands roughly from east to west; the largest is the Yizreel or Jezreel Valley (also known as the Plain of Esdraelon), which stretches forty-eight kilometers from Haifa southeast to the valley of the Jordan River, and is nineteen kilometers across at its widest point.

86. THE ARAB-ISRAELI CONFLICT And The SEPARATION BARRIER (Chapter 6) sovereignty in the west bank is very much a conflict over geography. Clearly, the presence of Israeli settlements in the west bank present http://www.colorado.edu/geography/courses/geog_1982_s05/warandpeacearab-israel.h

THE ARAB-ISRAELI CONFLICT and the SEPARATION BARRIER (Chapter 6) There are two parts to this unit. The first part focuses on the issues of Israeli settlements in the occupied region of the West Bank . Your textbook provides an overview of the on-going Arab-Israeli conflict and its various dimensions (pp. 41-44). Here we examine one limited aspect of the conflict, one that is particularly geographical. The conflict over settlements and territorial sovereignty in the West Bank is very much a conflict over geography. Not surprisingly, then, it is a conflict that is perhaps best represented in maps. The second part explores the debate surrounding Israel ’s building of a “separation barrier” around the West Bank As with the first part, this is a highly “mappable” issue, but it also raises broader questions about the role of borders and barriers in the conflict and about the distant prospects for a lasting peace. Part 1: Mapping the conflict Before we explore how maps reveal some of the key issues in the conflict, you may want to familiarize yourself with the basic geography of the West Bank . For a good introduction, go to the
