This area is the geographical classification for Israeli settlement in the West Bank other than East Jerusalem and the former Israeli – Jordanian no man's land area near Latrun. The area has been under Israeli control since the 1967 Six-Day War but not annexed by Israel, pending negotiations regarding its status. Many Israelis consider it part of the Land of Israel, but it is not considered part of the State of Israel by any nation or the UN. See Palestinian National Authority for the Palestinian administration. Israeli Civil Administration is responsible for coordinating with the PNA.
