Palestine, officially the State of Palestine, is an independent state in the Western Asia that is partially occupied by Israel.
Territory
Red: Joint control
Blue and pink: Israeli control
Before 1948, Palestine consisted of all of the land on the land on the Sinai Peninsula outside of Egypt. In 1948, the area was partitioned into two states, Israel and Palestine. Israel was not satisfied with its territory and soon annexed 60% of Palestinian land in the Arab–Israeli War.[1] During the Six-Day War in 1967, Israel invaded the rest of Palestine and annexed East Jerusalem.[2] Most of the West Bank is now occupied by Israel.[3]
