"Newsweek: Jewish state is best in the Middle East.

In spite of the ongoing security concerns and stifling heat, Israel is a pretty good place to live, or so says 'Newsweek', which this week published a special article that rated Israel the 22nd best country in the world, and the best in the Middle East.

In an article entitled 'The Best Countries in the World', Israel was sandwiched between Spain and Italy, scoring seventh in health, 25th in quality of life, and 15th in economic dynamism. In a rating that would surprise many Israelis, Newsweek ranked Israel a respectable 27th in political environment."
