Area C accounts for over 60% of the West Bank's territory. The Oslo Accords, signed between the Palestine Liberation Organization and Israel, created administrative districts with varying levels of Palestinian autonomy in specific areas: Area A, which is administered exclusively by the PNA Area B, which is administered by both the PNA and Israel and Area C, which is administered exclusively by Israel. The territory remained under Jordanian rule until 1967, when it was captured and occupied by Israel during the Six-Day War. It initially emerged as a Jordanian-occupied territory after the 1948 Arab–Israeli War, before being annexed outright by Jordan in 1950, and was given its name during this time based on its location on the western bank of the Jordan River. Israel administers the West Bank excluding East Jerusalem as the Judea and Samaria Area ( אֵזוֹר יְהוּדָה וְשׁוֹמְרוֹן, Ezor Yehūda VeŠōmrōn) district, through the Israeli Civil Administration. Since the Oslo II Accord was signed in 1995, its area has been split into 165 Palestinian enclaves, that are under total or partial civil administration by the Palestinian National Authority (PNA), and a contiguous area containing 230 Israeli settlements into which Israeli law is "pipelined". It has been under an Israeli military occupation since the 1967 Arab-Israeli War. It is bordered by Jordan and the Dead Sea to the east and by Israel (see Green Line) to the south, west, and north. The West Bank ( Arabic: الضفة الغربية, aḍ-Ḍiffah al-Ġarbiyyah Hebrew: הַגָּדָה הַמַּעֲרָבִית, HaGadáh HaMaʽarávit) is a landlocked territory near the coast of the Mediterranean in the Levant region of Western Asia that forms the main bulk of the Palestinian territories.
