The Jews first settled the West Bank or as it was known then "Judea and Samaria" 3200 years ago.

King David further cemented Jewish hold on Judea and Samaria when he declared Jerusalem his capital.

Jews resided throughout the ages in cities such as Hebron, Shchem (Nablus) and (East) Jerusalem but were forced to flee following Jordanian occupation in 1948.

Jews started returning to Judea and Samaria (West Bank) in 1967 right after Israel gained control of the territory.

Today around 20% of the population in the West Bank is Jewish and their share keeps growing.
