A: Israel

B: Jordan

C: Syria

D: Oman

Answer: Israel

Israel has evidence of the earliest migration of hominids
out of Africa. Canaanite tribes are archaeologically attested since the Middle
Bronze Age, while the Kingdoms of Israel and Judah emerged during the Iron Age.
The Neo-Assyrian Empire destroyed Israel around 720 BCE. Judah was later
conquered by the Babylonian, Persian, and Hellenistic empires and had existed as
Jewish autonomous provinces. The successful Maccabean Revolt led to an
independent Hasmonean kingdom by 110 BCE, which in 63 BCE however became a
client state of the Roman Republic that subsequently installed the Herodian
dynasty in 37 BCE, and in 6 CE created the Roman province of Judea. Judea
lasted as a Roman province until the failed Jewish revolts resulted in
widespread destruction, the expulsion of the Jewish population, and the renaming
of the region from Iudaea to Syria Palaestina. Jewish presence in the region
has persisted to a certain extent over the centuries. In the 7th century CE,
the Levant was taken from the Byzantine Empire by the Arabs and remained in
Muslim control until the First Crusade of 1099, followed by the Ayyubid
conquest of 1187. The Mamluk Sultanate of Egypt extended its control over the
Levant in the 13th century until its defeat by the Ottoman Empire in 1517. During
the 19th century, national awakening among Jews led to the establishment of the
Zionist movement followed by immigration to Palestine.

The land was controlled as a mandate of the British Empire
from 1920 to 1948, having been ceded by the Ottomans at the end of the First
World War. The Second World War saw the mandate bombed heavily. Once the
British agreed to supply arms and form a Jewish Brigade in 1944, Yishuv Jews
officially entered the conflict on the side of the allies. At the end of the
war, amidst growing tensions with the conflict-weary British, the United
Nations (UN), eager to appease both Arab and Jewish factions, adopted a
Partition Plan for Palestine in 1947 recommending the creation of an independent
Arab and Jewish states, and an internationalized Jerusalem. The plan was
accepted by the Jewish Agency but rejected by Arab leaders. The following year,
the Jewish Agency declared the independence of the State of Israel, and the
subsequent 1948 Arab–Israeli War saw Israel establishment over most of the
former Mandate territory, while the West Bank and Gaza were held by neighboring
Arab states Israel has since fought several wars with Arab countries and since
the Six-Day War in June 1967, held occupied territories including the West
Bank, Golan Heights, and the Gaza Strip.
