Answer:

False, Israel has not a soil as rich as the Fertile Crescent once had.

Step-by-step explanation:

To understand this answer and question we need to analyze it very nicely. first of all the`fertile crescent is the name provided to the region that involves the old Mesopotamia, Egypt, and Sumeria. It was called that by James Henry Breasted. The modern countries in the topic zone are Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, Palestine, Israel, Syria, Turkey, Irak, Iran, and Cyprus. This is the reason behind the misconception that Israel could have a rich soil like the epic "fertile crescent". However, due to soil exploitation, water projects and urbanization by the governments to extract water from it. It is not as rich as it was in the era of the Mesopotamian, Sumerian, and Egyptian empires. Nevertheless, it also doesn't mean it can't grow anything. But it is not as rich as it was in the Fertile Crescent era of Sumeria, Egypt, and Mesopotamia.
