'''Judea and Samaria''' or its the most commonly used secular name, the '''West Bank''', refers to the ancient [[Jewish]] homelands located in the west bank of the [[Jordan River]] near [[Jerusalem]]. The land is bitterly disputed between Jewish and [[Arab]] settlers in the region. The West Bank has been controlled by [[Israel]] since the [[Six-Day War]] (1967) and part of it by the [[State of Palestine]] since the [[Oslo Accords]]. The West Bank is not officially part of any country, and is often referenced in the media as a Palestinian authority as it is recognized by the international community.
