Gaza was part of the Ottoman Empire, before it was occupied by the United Kingdom (1918-1948), Egypt (1948-1967), and then Israel, which in 1994 granted the Palestinian Authority in Gaza limited self-governance through the Oslo Accords.

Since the Israel–PLO letters of recognition, most of the Palestinian population and cities have been under the internal jurisdiction of the Palestinian Authority, and only partial Israeli military control, although Israel has on several occasions redeployed its troops and reinstated full military administration during periods of unrest. From their occupation in 1967 until 1993, the Palestinians living in these territories were under Israeli military administration. The population is mainly Arab Palestinians, including refugees of the 1948 Arab-Israeli War. The West Bank was occupied by Israel in 1967 during the Six-Day War. Only Britain recognized this annexation and Jordan has since ceded its claim to the territory to the PLO. The West Bank was annexed by Jordan in 1948, following the Arab rejection of the UN decision to create two states in Palestine. Most negotiations relating to the territories have been on the basis of United Nations Security Council Resolution 242, which emphasises "the inadmissibility of the acquisition of territory by war", and calls on Israel to withdraw from occupied territories in return for normalization of relations with Arab states, a principle known as " Land for peace". The status of East Jerusalem in any future peace settlement has at times been a difficult hurdle in negotiations between Israeli governments and representatives of the Palestinians, as Israel views it as its sovereign territory, as well as part of its capital. The International Court of Justice, principal judicial organ of the United Nations, asserted, in its 2004 advisory opinion on the legality of the construction of the Israeli West Bank barrier, that the lands captured by Israel in the Six-Day War, including East Jerusalem, are occupied territory. The UN Security Council has declared the annexation of the Golan Heights and East Jerusalem to be "null and void" and continues to view the territories as occupied. The Gaza Strip and the West Bank are seen by the Palestinians and most of the international community as the site of a future Palestinian state. The Gaza Strip is independent of Israel with no Israeli military or civilian presence, but Israel continues to maintain control of its airspace and waters. In contrast, the West Bank has remained under military occupation, and Palestinians in this area cannot become citizens.
Israel applied civilian law to the Golan Heights and East Jerusalem, incorporating them into its sovereign territory and granting their inhabitants permanent residency status and the choice to apply for citizenship. Israel also took control of the Sinai Peninsula, but returned it to Egypt as part of the 1979 Israel–Egypt Peace Treaty.įollowing Israel's capture of these territories, settlements consisting of Israeli citizens were established within each of them. In 1967, as a result of the Six-Day War, Israel gained control of the West Bank (Judaea and Samaria), East Jerusalem, the Gaza strip and the Golan Heights. On Mait was recognised by the USA as Israeli territory Most of the 150,000 Arabian residents fled to Syria at the time of the Israeli occupation.
It also is important as a source of water. (Note: These heights overlook the valley below used by Israel for agriculture) Because of its geography, it has military value to Israel. The Golan Heights is a small area in the northeast of Israel which was Syrian territory prior to its capture by Israel in the 1967 Six Day War. Following the 1949 Armistice it came under Egypt and passed to Israel following the 1967 Six Day War. Partition in 1948, this area was designated as Arabian territory. The Gaza Strip is a coastal area located in the south. After 1967 it became reunited under Israel. This area was occupied by Arabs, who after 1967, called themselves ‘Palestinians’.įrom 1948 to 1967 Jerusalem had been a divided city. In 1967 it was captured by Israel and retained this name.
