Israel's
Middle Eastern country's
Israel's is the possessive form of Israel, referring to something belonging to or associated with the nation of Israel or, less commonly, a person named Israel.
It appears frequently in news and political discourse: Israel's government announced new policies, Israel's borders, Israel's economy.
The form also works as a contraction of "Israel is" or "Israel has" in informal contexts, though the possessive use dominates.
