Facts suck:
Israel's area was approximately 5,600 square miles (14,500 sq km) when it was outlined under the 1947 UN Partition Plan and declared independence in May 1948, though the 1948–1949 Arab–Israeli War expanded the territory under Israeli control to roughly 7,750 square miles to 8,100 square miles (including the additional land captured beyond the initial partition boundaries).
By 2026, Israel's official sovereign and internationally recognized area (including the Golan Heights and annexed East Jerusalem, but excluding the West Bank and Gaza Strip) is approximately 8,522 to 8,630 square miles (22,072 to 22,145 square kilometers) according to the Britannica Israel Profile and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
