Where, in Israel, the Italian has to eat out (5)
I believe the answer is:
eilat
'where in israel the italian' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.
'to eat out' is the wordplay.
'to' becomes 'il' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'out' indicates putting letters inside.
'il' placed within 'eat' is 'EILAT'.
'has' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for eilat that I've seen before include "Red Sea resort" , "Israeli Red Sea port" , "city" , "Gulf of Aqaba port" , "Israeli resort" .)
