West Bank

The West Bank is land beyond the ‘Green Line,’ also known by its biblical name Judea and Samaria. The area has been under Israeli control since the Six Day War in 1967, and it was divided into Areas A, B, and C under the Oslo Accords, with the spheres of military and civilian control split between Israel and the Palestinian Authority. In the West Bank there are Jewish settlements and Arab settlements.
