The Territories under Israeli control are the territories taken over by Israel after the Six-Day War in 1967. Some people refer to them as the Occupied Territories, especially when capitalized. These originally included the Sinai Peninsula, the Golan Heights, the West Bank of the Jordan River (Judea and Samaria), and the Gaza Strip. Following the conquest by Israel of these territories, settlements of Israeli Jews were established within each of them. The Six-Day War (Hebrew: ××××ת ששת ××××× transliteration: Milhemet Sheshet Hayamim), also known as the 1967 Arab-Israeli War, Six Days War, or June War, was fought between Israel and its Arab neighbors Egypt, Jordan, and Syria. ...

Specific territories
The Sinai Peninsula The Sinai Peninsula although sparsely populated, is of enormous strategic position because it straddles the Suez Canal and the Gulf of Aqaba. Egyptian policies of blocking Israeli shipping through these waterways were important factors leading to the 1956 Suez War and the 1967 Six-Day War.

The West Bank and the Gaza Strip These are together often referred to as the Palestinian territories, or Yesha by many Israelis. Both of these territories are part of former British Mandate of Palestine, and both have populations consisting primarily of Arab Palestinians, including historic residents of the territories and refugees who lost their homes in the territory that became Israel in the 1948 Arab-Israeli War. Both were allotted to the proposed Arab state under United Nations Partition Plan of 1947.

A central strategic concern of Israel in the West Bank is maintaining control of the Mountain Aquifer, which supplies over a third of Israel's fresh water resources. An aquifer is an underground layer of water-bearing permeable rock, or permeable mixtures of unconsolidated materials (gravel, sand, silt, or clay) (see also groundwater). ...
For the nineteen years from the end of the Mandate until the Six-Day War, Jordan occupied the West Bank and Egypt occupied the Gaza Strip. In 1950, Jordan annexed the West Bank, but this annexation was recognized only by the United Kingdom. Both territories were conquered (but not annexed) from Jordan and Egypt by Israel in the Six-Day War. Neither Jordan, Egypt, or Israel during their respective periods of control ever allowed the creation of a Palestinian state in these territories. From 1967 to 1993, the majority of people living in these territories—those who are not Israeli citizens—were subject to Israeli military administration without the benefits of Israeli citizenship: in particular the right to vote in Israeli elections. Israel retained the mukhtar (mayoral) system of government it inherited from Jordan, and subsequent governments began developing infrastructure in Arab villages under its control. Since 1993 most of the Palestinian population has been under the jurisdiction of the Palestinian Authority, and only partial Israeli control, although during the unrest stemming from the Israeli-Palestinian conflict Israel has several times redeployed its troops and reinstated full military administration in various parts of these territories.

As was the case in the Sinai Peninsula in 1982, in 2005 Israel forced all settlers to leave, destroyed all Israeli settlements, and unilaterally withdrew its forces from the Gaza Strip.

East Jerusalem While East Jerusalem is considered by many to be part of the West Bank, it is occasionally treated separately in negotiations. The 1947 UN Partition Plan had contemplated that all of Jerusalem would be an international city. Jordan captured East Jerusalem in the 1948 Arab-Israeli war, and annexed it in 1950, but no other country recognized this annexation. Israel captured East Jerusalem in the 1967 Six-Day War and in 1980 the Israeli Knesset passed the "Jerusalem Law" annexing East Jerusalem, but United Nations Security Council Resolution 478 declared this action to be a violation of international law. East Jerusalem is that part of Jerusalem which was held by Jordan from the 1948 Arab-Israeli War until the Six-Day War in 1967. ...

The Golan Heights The Golan Heights was captured from Syria in towards the end Six Day War, after the cease fire with Egypt and Jordan had been agreed. The status of the Golan Heights, and of the Israeli settlements established there, is one of the issues preventing the signing of a peace treaty between Israel and Syria. Many of the headwaters of the Jordan River, from which Israel draws most of its fresh water resources, lie in the Golan Heights. Sites on the Golan in blue are Israeli settlement communities. ...

Terminology Supporters of Israel object to using the term "Occupied Territories" to describe these areas, preferring to call them "disputed territories," or with reference to the West Bank, Judea and Samaria. They argue that to refer to the territories as occupied precludes Israel from claiming parts of them as its sovereign territory, and that being an occupying power would invoke the provisions of the Fourth Geneva Convention regarding the protection of civilians during war and occupation. Israel holds that the Convention does not apply to the West Bank or the Gaza Strip because the Convention is an agreement between the nations that signed it, and these territories are not part of any signatory nation. Desert hills in southern Judea, looking east from the town of Arad Judea or Judaea (יהודה Praise, Standard Hebrew Yəhuda, Tiberian Hebrew Yəhûḏāh) is a term used for the mountainous southern part of historic Palestine, an area now divided between Israel, Jordan and the West Bank. ...

For Palestinians, the Syrian residents of the Golan Heights, and their supporters, the term "occupied territory" reflects their view that Israel is a foreign presence in control of areas over which they have no sovereignty. They regard the area as "occupied territory" based on the following arguments: The Palestinians are a mainly Arabic-speaking people with family origins in Palestine. ...

- Israeli maintains a military administration over Palestinians and the residents of the Golan Heights and has offered them citizenship rights in Israel only in very narrow instances
- Every national government in the world aside from Israel views this as an occupation, and this is the terminology commonly used in the world press
- The Palestinian population of the territories, and their direct ancestors, have been living there -- or in the territory that became Israel, from which they were expelled in 1948 -- for centuries
- The "continuous Jewish presence" in the Land of Israel sometimes claimed by supporters of Israel was, prior to the beginning of modern Zionism, largely "maintained" by the profoundly anti-Zionist Neturei Karta group
- Contrary to Israeli pronouncements, international law broadly holds self-determination to be a basic human right, and recognizes the natural sovereignty of any people in the territory where they live.Citation needed
- International law, including rulings by International Court of Justice, and UN resolutions, agree that the territories are occupied. Citation needed
- Demographically, Palestinians make up the majority of the population and the Jewish population is in the minority
- Most of what Jewish population there is in the territories arrived there in contravention of the Fourth Geneva Convention prohibition on an occupying power transfering its civilian population to the territory it occupies.
Supporters of the view that the territories are not occupied argue that use of the term "occupied" in relation to Israel's control of the areas has no basis in international law or history, and that it prejudges the outcome of negotiations. They regard the area as "disputed territory" based on the following arguments: The Land of Israel (Hebrew: ×רץ ×שר×× Eretz Yisrael) is the land that made up the ancient Jewish Kingdoms of Israel and Judah. ...

- No borders have been established or recognized by the parties. Armistice lines do not establish borders, and the 1949 Armistice Agreements in particular specifically stated (at Arab insistence) that they were not creating permanent or de jure borders.[1]
- The United Nations uses the term "disputed" about all other contested areas in the world — even those for which a stronger case for "occupation" can be made. In particular, the West Bank, Gaza Strip, and East Jerusalem were not referred to as "occupied" during the 19 years that Jordan and Egypt controlled (and in the former case, annexed) them.[2]
- Historically, Jews have at least as strong of a claim to the West Bank and Gaza Strip as Palestinians do, possibly stronger - the Land of Israel plays a far more important role in Jewish history than in Palestinian or Arab history, and there has been a continuous Jewish presence there for at least three millennia.[3]
- Territories are only "occupied" if they are captured in war from an established and recognized sovereign, but no state had a legitimate or recognized sovereignty over the West Bank, Gaza Strip or East Jerusalem prior to the Six-Day War.[4]
- The Fourth Geneva Convention is not applicable to the West Bank and Gaza Strip, since, under its Article 2, it pertains only to "cases of…occupation of the territory of a High Contracting Party" by another High Contracting party. The West Bank and Gaza Strip have never been the legal territories of any High Contracting Party.[5]
- Even if the Fourth Geneva Convention applied, the provisions precluding transfering civilian populations were made in the context of forced relocations of civilian groups by the Nazis out of captured territories, and were not intended to apply to voluntary relocations of civilians into captured territories.[6]
- Even if the Fourth Geneva Convention had applied at one point, they certainly did not apply once the Israel transferred governmental powers to the Palestinian Authority in accordance with the 1993 Oslo Accords, since Article 6 of the convention states that the Occupying Power would only be bound to its terms "to the extent that such Power exercises the functions of government in such territory....".[7]
