Israeli-occupied territories
The Israeli-occupied territories is a political concept, referring to the territories occupied by Israel during the Six-Day War of 1967. Originally, those territories included the Syrian Golan Heights, the Egyptian Sinai Peninsula and Egyptian-occupied Gaza Strip and Jordanian-occupied West Bank and were also referred to as Occupied Arab territories, ruled via the Israeli Military Governorate system from 1967 to 1982. Today Israeli-occupied territories generally refer to the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and the Gaza Strip; much of the Golan Heights from Syria. Israel maintains that the West Bank is disputed territory and asserts that since the disengagement from Gaza in 2005, it no longer occupies it. The Palestinian Authority, the EU, the International Court of Justice, the UN General Assembly and the UN Security Council consider East Jerusalem to be part of the West Bank and occupied by Israel; Israel considers all of Jerusalem to be its capital and sovereign territory.
