What are the four occupied territories and from whom israel took them?

Answer 1

-- Israel captured the Sinai Peninsula from Egypt during the 6-days war in 1967,

and returned it to Egypt in 1979 with the signing of the peace treaty.

-- Israel occupied southern Lebanon, and moved its forces out of there at the request

of the UN.

-- Israel occupied and controlled the Gaza strip, and moved all of its military and all

Jewish settlers out of there in 2006.

-- Israel occupied the Golan Heights since 1967. It has never been annexed, (made a part

of Israel), and will undoubtedly be returned to Syria, as soon as Israel can get some

assurance that it won't turn into a shooting gallery as it was before, with Israeli farms

in the adjacent valley as the targets.

-- Israel captured East Jerusalem in 1967, and began admitting all visitors to

the Temple Mount, whether they are Christian, Muslim, Jewish, or whatever.

Before that time, the controlling authorities denied Jews the privilege of visiting

the entire old city of Jerusalem.

-- The original UN partition map in 1947 included the "West Bank" in the Jewish-administered

section. That area was captured by Jordan during the Arab invasion after Israel declared

itself a country in 1948. Israel recaptured it in 1967, and felt that it was necessary to

maintain some control over it, as that area was always a launching ground for

infiltration and suicide attacks against Israel. But apparently it can't be too

tyrannical an "occupation", since the whole Palestinian government is located

and operates there, the whole police and security structure in that region is

Palestinian, the local governments in all of the West Bank cities, towns, and

villages are Palestinian, Arabs from the West Bank have brought land-use suits

against Israel to Israeli courts, and have on occasion won their cases against

Israel in Israeli courts.
