Background stats: Canada vs Israel

  Canadian Background stats

  Israeli Background stats

Background Canada is the 2nd largest nation with the world, with a surface area of almost 10 million sq km. It has just one neighbour, the US, which it borders on two fronts, the south (6,418km) and the the US state of Alaska in the west (2,477km). Its total of 8,893km is the longest land border between two nations in the world. Despite its size, it has a most population of just 34 million, 2.5 million of which live in the largest city Toronto. Its capital city, Ottawa, has just over 800,000 inhabitants. Established in 1948 by the British as a new Jewish homeland, Israel has had a tenuous relationship with its Arab neighbours. Israel has borders with 6 nations in total, with Egypt (266km), Gaza Strip (51km), Lebanon (79km), Syria (76km), the West Bank (307km) and Jordan (238km). Other than a north western coastline on Mediterranean Sea, Israel also has a narrow coastline on the Gulf of Aqaba in the south. Despite its small size, with a surface area of just 22,070 sq km, its population is just under 7.5 million, making it 3rd amongst its immediate neighbours, behind Egypt (82 million) and Syria (22 million).
