Judea and Samaria
Judea and Samaria is a region in west central Israel that extends roughly from the Judean Hills to the Jordan River.
Conquered by Transjordan in 1948, it was renamed as the "West Bank", reflecting the view from Amman, the capital. Jordan occupied the territory for only 19 years, but this label continues to be used outside of Israel.
After the region was liberated in 1967 during the Six Day War, the original names of Judea and Samaria were reinstated.
