What countries border palestine?
It depends on how you define Palestine. If you define it as the territories under the de facto control of the Palestinian Authority, it only borders Israel. If you consider only the territories of the West Bank, even those under de facto Israeli control, it borders both Israel and Jordan. If you consider all of the Palestinian Territories, also including the Hamas-controlled Gaza Strip, it borders Israel, Jordan, and Egypt. If you consider the former Mandate of Palestine that many Arabs use when they discuss Palestine replacing Israel, it would border Jordan, Egypt, Syria, and Lebanon (but no Israel since Israel would be gone).
What is the population of Palestine?
It really depends on what you mean by 'Palestine'? There is no country today called Palestine, but in the past there were various territories referred to as Palestine, though it was never a well-defined independent country. Many people refer to Palestine as the territory controlled by Britain after the First World War, under what was called "The British Mandate of Palestine" (which was captured from Turkey during WWI). That territory today includes the countries of Israel and Jordan, as well as the West Bank and Gaza Strip territories. Others refer to Palestine only as the territories of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. There are various other definitions, and to many it is a highly charged emotional and political subject. The population today of Israel is 7.5 million people. The Arab population of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip today is about 3.5 million (there is no accurate census). The population of Jordan is just over 6 million.
When did Palestine become a colony under Israel?
Palestine has never been a colony of Israel. Israel took control of the West Bank and the Gaza Strip in 1967 after conquering these territories from Jordan and Egypt respectively, where they were annexed territories under military authority.
