In the section titled State of Israel, the sentence "Following independence, the Haganah became the Israel Defense Forces (IDF)." occurs three paragraphs after a sentence with nearly identical structure and references. 173.21.222.142 (talk) 21:35, 6 December 2023 (UTC)[reply]

at the end of the fifth paragraph of the section "netanyahu I; Barak," the sentence "since 2013 it has been a permanent member of the group" is repeated twice. Chairibum (talk) 20:02, 30 April 2024 (UTC)[reply]
The opening line: "The history of Israel covers an area of the Southern Levant also known as Canaan, Palestine or the Holy Land, which is the geographical location of the modern states of Israel and Palestine." - The early sentence reference to "Palestine" here is incorrect. It was NOT called Palestine when it was known as Canaan or The Holy Land. Also, Palestine is not recognized as a country, or a state.
"The word Palestine derives from Philistia, the name given by Greek writers to the land of the Philistines, who in the 12th century BCE occupied a small pocket of land on the southern coast, between modern Tel Aviv–Yafo and Gaza."
"This country received the name of Palestine, from the Philistines, who dwelt on the sea coast: it was called Judea, from Judah: and is termed the Holy Land, being the country where Jesus Christ was born, preached his holy doctrines, confirmed them by miracles, and laid down his life for mankind."
"While the State of Israel was established on 15 May 1948 and admitted to the United Nations, a Palestinian State was not established. The remaining territories of pre-1948 Palestine, the West Bank - including East Jerusalem- and Gaza Strip, were administered from 1948 till 1967 by Jordan and Egypt, respectively."
