Palestinian territory

West Bank area

Palestinian territory refers to land claimed by Palestinians for a future state, primarily the West Bank and Gaza Strip.

These areas came under Israeli occupation after the 1967 war.

The term appears in diplomatic contexts: the occupied Palestinian territories, Israeli settlements in Palestinian territory.

Usage often signals political stance—whether one says "Palestinian territories," "disputed territories," or "Judea and Samaria" reflects views on legitimacy and sovereignty.
