Best Answer

The Suez Canal is often considered to be the boundary between Asia and Africa.

The shortest distance between a point on Israel's southeastern boundary and a point on the Suez Canal is about 118 miles.

Of course, the distance covers a very wide range, depending on what points you choose. My brother's home in Netanya is something like 4,700 miles from the home of his good friend in Capetown, South Africa.
