Country getting stick in central part of Israel (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

rwanda

'country' is the definition.
(I know that Rwanda is a country)

'stick in central part of israel' is the wordplay.
'stick' becomes 'wand' (a wand is a small stick).
'in' is an insertion indicator.
'central part of' indicates the central letters.
The middle letters of 'israel' are 'ra'.
'wand' placed inside 'ra' is 'RWANDA'.

'getting' acts as a link.

(Other definitions for rwanda that I've seen before include "Language" , "Nation" , "Republic in central Africa" , "Hutu and Tutsi country" , "Kigali's country" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
