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.

Famous quotes containing the word area:
“Many women are reluctant to allow men to enter their domain. They don’t want men to acquire skills in what has traditionally been their area of competence and one of their main sources of self-esteem. So while they complain about the male’s unwillingness to share in domestic duties, they continually push the male out when he moves too confidently into what has previously been their exclusive world.”
—Bettina Arndt (20th century)
