The opening as it read in 2010
A map of the Palestinian territories with the West Bank and Gaza Strip highlighted in red An enlargeable map of the Palestinian territories and central Israel An enlargeable map of the West Bank An enlargeable map of the Gaza Strip The Palestinian territories or Occupied Palestinian Territory are two conventional name used, among others, to describe the territories of the West Bank , East Jerusalem and the Gaza Strip , which were designated as the jurisdiction of the Palestinian Authority in the Palestinian-Israeli agreement of 13 September 1993 .1Occasionally these territories are also referred to as Palestine , which creates some ambiguity with the term Palestine as a geographic region between the Mediterranean Sea and the Jordan River , and various adjoining lands. The final status of the Palestinian territories and their final boundaries are two issues that have been subject to deep dispute within the context of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict . The names and terminology used to describe the territory or locations within its current boundaries are also often disputed. In the Palestinian National Charter , the Palestinian homeland is defined as the territory of British Mandate Palestine (excluding Transjordan ) . The State of Israel was established as a national homeland for the Jews in approximately three-quarters of this territory in May 1948, amid the 1948 Arab-Israeli war . The remaining quarter, comprising the Gaza Strip and the West Bank (including what is now known as East Jerusalem ), were occupied by Egypt and by Jordan , and later by Israel during the 1967 Six Day War . The Palestinian people, including the Palestinian diaspora , have been represented before the international community by the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) since its establishment in 1964 . In November 1988, the Palestinian National Council (PNC), the parliament-in-exile of the PLO proclaimed the establishment of the State of Palestine, diplomatically recognized by several tens of countries . Deviating from the usual criteria governing the classic definition of a state or country , the precise boundaries of Palestine have yet to be determined and full autonomy has yet to be secured. The Palestinian National Authority , established pursuant to the Oslo Accords , is an interim administrative body responsible for governance in population Palestinian centers in the West Bank and Gaza Strip until final status negotiations are concluded. The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to the Palestinian territories: Paragraph IV of the 1993 Declaration of Principles, which is part of the Oslo Accords , full text on the BBC News website . The Palestine Exploration Fund . There are contradicting reports about the actual number ranging from 67 [1] to about 100 Forji Amin George (June 2004).2

A map of the Palestinian territories with the West Bank and Gaza Strip highlighted in red An enlargeable map of the Palestinian territories and central Israel An enlargeable map of the West Bank An enlargeable map of the Gaza Strip The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to the Palestinian territories: Palestinian territories – West Bank and the Gaza Strip , politically under the jurisdiction of the Palestinian National Authority the Hamas Government in Gaza , and the Israeli Civil Administration .Since the Palestinian Declaration of Independence in 1988, the region is today recognized by three-quarters of the world's countries to be the State of Palestine .Although recently promoted to a non-member state status in the UN, the State of Palestine is not recognized by Israel and major Western nations , including the United States .[1] "Note that the term Palestine has historically referred to the region which today incorporates Israel as well as the Palestinian territories.The current position was expressed by Mahmoud Abbas in his September 2011 speech to the United Nations: 'When we adopted this program, we were taking a painful and very difficult step for all of us, especially those, including myself, who were forced to leave their homes and their towns and villages, carrying only some of our belongings and our grief and our memories and the keys of our homes to the camps of exile and the Diaspora in the 1948 Al-Nakba , one of the worst operations of uprooting, destruction and removal of a vibrant and cohesive society that had been contributing in a pioneering and leading way in the cultural, educational and economic renaissance of the Arab Middle East.Yet, because we believe in peace and because of our conviction in international legitimacy, and because we had the courage to make difficult decisions for our people, and in the absence of absolute justice, we decided to adopt the path of relative justice - justice that is possible and could correct part of the grave historical injustice committed against our people.Thus, we agreed to establish the State of Palestine on only 22% of the territory of historical Palestine - on all the Palestinian Territory occupied by Israel in 1967.'"
