Since 1967, Israel has maintained an occupation of the West Bank, which involves military rule over the Palestinians who live there. As part of the 1995 Oslo II Accord, the West Bank was divided in Area A (full Palestinian civil and security control), Area B (Palestinian civil control and joint Israeli-Palestinian security control), and Area C (full Israeli civil and security control). Although it withdrew from the Gaza Strip in 2005, Israel maintains control over Gaza’s airspace, territorial waters, and movement of people and goods.
