Explanation

Let's examine the geographical location of each country: Syria: Syria has a western coastline along the Mediterranean Sea. Jordan: Jordan is largely landlocked, with its only maritime access being a small stretch of coastline on the Gulf of Aqaba, which is an inlet of the Red Sea, not the Mediterranean Sea. Lebanon: Lebanon lies entirely on the eastern coast of the Mediterranean Sea. Israel: Israel has a significant coastline along the southeastern shore of the Mediterranean Sea. Therefore, Jordan is the country among the given options that does not open out to the Mediterranean Sea.
