I'm truly stumped by this one:
Nonsense talked about a country club in Israel

_ E _ L _ H
I can't think of any other words beyond HEALTH, WEALTH and FELLAH, but none of these seem to fit.
Any help would be very much appreciated. Thanks!

Looks like Beulah. Biblical name for Israel. Blah around EU

It's Beulah - I have seen it answered (elsewhere) several times already.

Thanks Malone

Much appreciated!

Thanks Quisling

I would never have got it!

Happy to help. Thanks Malone. I grew up knowing Beulah as the name of Mae West’s maid she asked to peel her a grape in I’m No Angel. Took a long time for me to learn the derivation.

Hi Quisling, 'peel me a grape' - that's brilliant!

My fav MW line was in response to "Goodness, what lovely diamonds!" - "Goodness had nothing to do with it" - Oh yes:-)
