Israeli succulent

[spined]

Hello everybody!
A friend of mine has grown this plant from seed which where collected near the sea of Galilee.
She asked me if I could id it, but i have no clue, so I hope you can help us with this one. I'm not sure
if this plant counts as a succulent in a narrower sence, but it has some kind of a caudex stem. Thanks
for watching!

I've seen some Jatropha multifida that look like this.

Neat plant! I'd check Rosemarie's suggestion first, but if it doesn't match then it may be something in the Araliaceae. You might want to check out this website and see if they show anything like it. http://flora.huji.ac.il/browse.asp" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;?

Thank you Rosemarie and Saxicola! Jatropha multifida looks absolutely right. Have a nice weekend guys!

Super nice plant!!! I'd be using that yellow faced container in the second picture to hold some sansevieria!
