Israeli
From the Levant
Israeli refers to a person from Israel or anything relating to that country: Israeli citizens, Israeli foreign policy, the Israeli military.
The term is nationality-based, distinct from Jewish, which refers to ethnicity or religion—though the categories overlap significantly.
An Israeli can be Jewish, Arab, Druze, or of any background.
She's Israeli but not Jewish.
