The Palestinian territories comprise the West Bank and the Gaza Strip territories that were occupied, respectively, by Jordan and Egypt from the 1948 Arab–Israeli War until the 1967 Six Day War and are currently occupied by Israel according to the international community. The Palestinian National Authority regards East Jerusalem as part of the West Bank, and consequently a part of the Palestinian territories, while Israel regards it as part of Israel as a result of its annexation in 1980. 'Palestinian territories' is one of a number of designations for these areas (the UN and international legal bodies often refer to them as the Occupied Palestinian Territories).
Following the signing of the Oslo Accords in 1993, portions of the territories have been governed to varying degrees by the Palestinian Authority.

In summer 2010 I visited and photographed three modern Israeli settlements, inhabited and administrated by the Orthodox Jewish settlers.
