West Bank: Territory in West Asia
The West Bank, so called due to its location relative to the Jordan River, is the larger of the two Palestinian territories that make up the State of Palestine. A landlocked territory near the coast of the Mediterranean Sea in the Levant region of West Asia, it is bordered by Jordan and the Dead Sea to the east and by Israel to the south, west, and north. Since 1967, the territory has been under Israeli occupation, which has been regarded illegal under the law of the international community.
