Gaps in Overview table
editSince the British Mandate ended in 1948, and with only a brief exception from 1956-1957 for Gaza, there is a 19 year gap of information about who was in control of the four former Mandate parts. I suppose I could assume that they were controlled by Egypt, Jordan, etc., but I would very much like to see this made explicit in a dedicated row. Does anyone know the history well enough to feel justified in adding the information? Must I try to be a bit more clear? Who did Israel take occupation from? Not from the British that late, so ... nobody? Jordan? Who? StephanNaro (talk) 10:53, 6 November 2023 (UTC)
- Indeed interesting pont.
- Jordan annexed the West Bank following their invasion of the region. The Gaza strip was under Egyptian rule following their invasion of the region. Homerethegreat (talk) 14:13, 16 November 2023 (UTC)

East Jerusalem in the Overview table
editIs there a reason Israel isn't listed in the "Claimed by" list for East Jersualem? Lebanon and Syria are doubled-up in "Claimed by" and "Currently administered by". I didn't want to add in case there was a specific reason, but shouldn't Israel be there too because it claims East Jersualem as part of Israel? Yr Enw (talk) 21:16, 25 November 2023 (UTC)
Dissolution of Military governorate
editThe lead says the military governorate was dissolved in 1981, the cited source doesnt seem appropriate (would need a secondary source rather than a UN report).
Also, Sara Roy describes the formation of the civil administration in 1981:
Soon thereafter, the Israeli government instituted a civil administration in the Gaza Strip and West Bank, structurally parallel to that of the military ad- ministration and subject to it. In that sense, the civil administration was, in effect, an integral part of the military structure. Implemented in Gaza on 1 De- cember 1981, the CIVAD, as it came to be known, was given responsibility over all nonmilitary sectors such as health, education, and welfare.
Missing map of historically Arab owned areas
editThis edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request. |
- What I think should be changed: Add a combined map of territories owned by different parties in 1945 in the Overview table of maps.
- Why it should be changed: There is a lot of information about what Jews owned and what others proposed to allocate, but I found myself wanting a complete picture of what the actual situation was before the UNSC split the borders. It would also help with comparing to the existing image showing current day ownership. There is already an image available on Wikipedia which I think would be a good fit for this.

POV tag
editI haven't read the entire article yet, but this already needs major work to resolve POV issues. I have addressed some of these. The main issue is that the article continues to treat the questions relating to the legality of the occupation as being disputed, when in fact it had been settled by the ICJ and every other human rights RS. Also, for example, there was no mention of settlements in the lede, which I added; but this needs more elaboration. There is no mention of the institutional system of discrimination by Israel against the Palestinians per ICJ, which many have called apartheid, in the lede. The weird table below has a row for "claimed by", which insinuates the Sinai Peninsula is "claimed by" Egypt. These are some of the actionable issues for now.

- @Makeandtoss: I think the NPOV tag may be misleading for readers. Can you add a brief rationale on the tag summarizing your points from here? Wretchskull (talk) 11:11, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
- Indeed, there are issues that could be improved, but after reconsideration this doesn't warrant the tag. Main actionable issue: lack of mention of apartheid in the lede. Makeandtoss (talk) 08:27, 2 August 2024 (UTC)
