Israel is still in the US travel warning. But then again so is Kenya. :duno:

Israel is safe, its only the disputed West Bank and Gaza areas are dangerous. Tel Aviv and Haifa, two of Israel's coastal cities are safe.
Aussie:
Cyprus is VERY safe, as long as you stay away from Northern Cyprus. Cities like Nicosia and Lanarca are fine.

But then again this argument can be applied to a lot of the countries in the travel warning (i.e. only dangerous in certain parts). The point is, if a country is in the US travel warning, insurance might not cover any cost incurred there or if they do, producers have to pay a hefty premium. So it's a matter of money.

Cyprus was a WAG on my part since it's probably as safe & stable as Sri Lanka was when the Race went through there. And I can remember a House Hunters International episode from there not too long back where they were looking at million dollar homes, so it wouldn't be the first US reality tv production taking interest in the country.
I'd love to see Lebanon. But while it's probably reasonably safe with the correct local fixers, there's still about a 1% chance of it turning into a repeat of Anthony Bourdain in Beiruit, so I'm resigned to that country never making an appearance on the Race.
