Israel has common borders with
Explanation
Israel is a Middle Eastern nation that shares land borders with four sovereign states. According to geographical data and maps, Israel is bordered by Lebanon to the north, Syria to the northeast, Jordan to the east, and Egypt to the southwest [t1][t2][t5]. Specifically, the 1949 Armistice Agreements established these frontiers following the 1948 Arab-Israeli War [t8]. While some borders remain disputed or are defined by de facto lines—such as the Blue Line with Lebanon and the Golan Heights with Syria—the primary neighboring countries remain consistent [t3][t4]. Turkey does not share a border with Israel, as it is separated by Syria and the Mediterranean Sea [t5][t6]. Similarly, Cyprus is an island nation in the Mediterranean, and Yemen is located at the southern end of the Arabian Peninsula, far from Israel's territory [t6][t7]. Therefore, the correct combination of bordering countries is Lebanon, Syria, Jordan, and Egypt.
