West Bank and Gaza Strip corresponds to several largely coextensive geopolitical constructs:

  • West Bank and Gaza Strip, two entities arising from the establishment of Israel in 1948 and the Israeli occupation of 1967 within former Mandatory Palestine.
  • Palestinian territories or the occupied Palestinian territories (oPt), comprising the West Bank and the Gaza Strip.
  • State of Palestine, a partially recognized de jure sovereign UN observer state, de facto occupied by Israel
  • West Bank Areas in the Oslo II Accord, generally referring to Areas A, B (under Palestinian civil control), and C within the West Bank, with similar arrangements also applying to the Gaza Strip.
  • Yesha, a Hebrew acronym for "Yehuda Shomron 'Azza" "Judea, Samaria", corresponding to the West Bank and "Gaza" (Strip) combined.
