Occupied Palestinian territories, Disputed territory in Middle East
The Palestinian territories consist of two distinct regions: the West Bank, a landlocked area bordered by Jordan and Israel, and Gaza Strip along the Mediterranean coast.
Following the 1948 Arab-Israeli War, these territories underwent significant changes as hundreds of thousands of Palestinians left their homes during what Palestinians call the Nakba.
The Palestinian territories maintain their identity through traditional crafts, regional cuisine, embroidery patterns, dance forms, and agricultural practices that differ between coastal and inland regions.
The territories are divided into three administrative zones: Area A under Palestinian control, Area B under joint control, and Area C under Israeli administration.
The region contains numerous archaeological sites dating back 4000 years, including ancient olive groves, stone terraces, and water systems still in use today.
