Jewish state
Where Tel Aviv is
A Jewish state is a nation where Jewish people have political self-determination and Jews constitute the demographic majority.
The term most often refers to Israel, established in 1948 as a homeland for the Jewish people: Israel defines itself as a Jewish state.
The concept carries religious, ethnic, and political dimensions, generating debate about the relationship between Jewish identity and democratic governance.
