Could you say why you think that is instead of clouding what you’re trying to say in a rhetorical question? To me, Israel is significantly more than a microstate. Liechtenstein with its 38,000 people or Monaco with 39,000 are dots on the map. Israel has over 9 million inhabitants — I think classifying it as a “microstate” is a misnomer. Israel is also a pretty powerful player and holds a lot of influence over US and world politics in a way that no “microstate” can. Why are people so interested in US politics? Because the decisions of the US matter deeply to global geopolitics. Same goes for Israel, I think.
