Request to change "No, but Israel has maintained control over the territory's border crossings, territorial waters, and air space since the end of the occupation in 2005" to "No, but Israel has maintained control over the territory's border crossings, territorial waters, and air space since its disengagement in 2005". This is in the wikitable in the overview section of the article. Using "disengagement" is the more accurate term due to the ICJ ruling (alongside with the RS consensus) that says that the Gaza Strip is still Israeli-occupied even since 2005 because Israel still has control over border crossings, water, and air space.

Ambigious introduction sentence
editPalestinian territories section starts with "Both of these territories were part of Mandate Palestine..." Both of which territories, exactly? Is it referring to Israel and Palestine? Jordan and Israel? South Lebanon and Golan Heights?.. As an outsider, disambiguation would be appreciated. Baltalı İlah (talk) 18:30, 21 February 2026 (UTC)

Description of suggested change:
Citation is a dead-end link, I'm assuming this is the one. I could not verify the numbers mentioned, neither the claim about the mentioned land being "some of the most fertile".
Diff:
| − | This has led to considerable anxiety among Palestinians about how their future lives will be impacted...The land between the Barrier and the Green Line constitutes some of the most fertile in the West Bank. It is currently the home for 49,400 West Bank Palestinians living in 38 villages and towns. | + | This has led to considerable anxiety among Palestinians about how their future lives will be impacted...The land between the Barrier and the Green Line constitutes some of the most fertile in the West Bank.

- I also wonder if the [47] in the United Nations stated that:[47] ...it is difficult to... was a citation that got accidentally wrecked. Another thing, there should be a quotation marks around these sentences. Baltalı İlah (talk) 11:47, 22 February 2026 (UTC)
Done Added the failed verification tag per your request. I also have no idea what is going on with that 47 in brackets and am open to suggestions for how to fix it. Day Creature (talk) 17:11, 22 February 2026 (UTC)

Description of suggested change: Hi all, Minor change suggested here - in the table of details regarding various Israeli occupied territories (Overview section under maps), column 7 (Gaza Strip), data row 4 (Israel considers it part of its territory). The text refers to 2005 as the year when Israel's occupation of Gaza ended. It hasn't, in fact, ended, so this is incorrect. Acknowledging that the use of this term, in effect, supports the Israeli perspective on a disputed fact, I have suggested a more neutral phrasing below.
Diff:
| − | No, but Israel has maintained control over the territory's border crossings, territorial waters, and air space since | + | No, but Israel has maintained control over the territory's border crossings, territorial waters, and air space since its civilian withdrawal in 2005. |
