Commonly Accepted Geopolitical Answer
The accepted definition for a country is an entity that is internationally recognized as such and has its own passport, institutions, government, and so on. Since Israel meets this definition, it is a country. Only the exact borders are sometimes negotiated upon. Most religious Jews accept this too, even if they disagree with certain of Israel's policies.

∙ 10y agoThe terms "State" and "Country" are not always meant the way that those terms are used in the United States where a State is a subnational unit.
