Israel at 20,770 km² and 6,352,117 people is somewhat larger.
Lebanon, Israel, the West Bank, Gaza, and Jordan combined are about the same size as the weapons testing range at Woomera in South Australia.

So, in theory, we could just move the whole problem to Woomera.

Lebanon is smaller than NSW, but I don't think it's smaller than Sydney.

Turns out to depend on the definition of "Sydney". The Wikipedia article I grabbed that from apparently got it from the Australian Bureau of Statistics (a reasonable source, you'd think), but their Sydney statistical division includes adjacent towns and areas (Gosford, Wyong, the Blue Mountains) that aren't usually counted as part of the Sydney metropolitan area.
I thought it was a bit big...
Lebanon is much smaller than NSW - about 1/80th the size.

Well, we're not doing much with it at the moment.
The original Woomera base was roughly four times its present size - nearly as big as Texas. I guess they decided they didn't need it all.

Anybody in West Asia who cannot tolerate the existance of Israel is welcome to move to Woomera. Woomera can still function as weapons testing range. One stone, two birds...
