{'israel': [0, 0, 2, 0], 'common borders': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'lebanon': [1, 0, 3, 5], 'syria': [0, 0, 0, 2], 'jordan': [2, 1, 2, 4], 'egypt': [5, 1, 5, 18], 'yemen': [0, 0, 2, 5], 'cyprus': [0, 2, 2, 1], 'turkey': [0, 0, 0, 3], 'iraq': [9, 2, 8, 16]}

Option 1 is correct. Israel shares its borders with four countries: Lebanon to the north, Syria to the northeast, Jordan to the east, and Egypt to the southwest.

Option 2 is incorrect because although Israel borders Lebanon, Syria, and Jordan, it does not share a border with Turkey.

Option 3 is also incorrect because Israel does not share borders with either Cyprus or Turkey. Furthermore, Cyprus is an island which is physically impossible for Israel to share a border with.

Option 4 is incorrect because Turkey, Iraq, and Yemen aren`t neighboring countries of Israel. Only Syria is a neighboring country where it shares the northeastern border.

It`s important to remember that the borders of Israel have been internationally recognized by many, but not all countries. These recognized borders are the result of multiple peace negotiations, treaties and international agreements.
