    The West Bank, which is occupied territory. E.g., it’s not part of Israel under international law, but Israel claims it as its own.

      Ty for clarifying, West Bank settlements are absolutely abhorrent, but I’ve seen too many people use the phrase claimed territory to refer to all of Israel. I appreciate the response and clarification
