	West Bank - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Located west and south-west of the Jordan River in the eastern part of the Palestine region in the Middle East, it is bordered by Israel to the west, north, and south, and by Jordan to the east.
		The population of the West Bank is predominantly Palestinian (86%) with a significant minority of Israeli settlers.
		In either case, it is often treated as separate from the West Bank due to its importance; for example, the Oslo Peace Accords treat the status of East Jerusalem as a separate matter from the status of the other Palestinian territories, to be resolved at a later undetermined date.

	Lebanon: The Intifada's False Premise - Middle East Quarterly - Spring 2002
		It is sometimes claimed that Ariel Sharon is pursuing a private vendetta in the measures he has pursued against Palestinian terrorism and the PA. But Sharon's policies are not produced in a vacuum.
		In contrast, both the Jewish claim to the West Bank, and the assumed right of Jews to settle and reside there (and in Gaza), have always been at the center of the political debate in Israel.
		In sum, the Palestinian leadership made a signal error in assuming that violence could compel an Israeli withdrawal from the West Bank and Gaza - an assumption based on their reading of the Lebanese "precedent." It was a grave miscalculation, which has already damaged Palestinian aspirations for the future.
