POV tag
editI haven't read the entire article yet, but this already needs major work to resolve POV issues. I have addressed some of these. The main issue is that the article continues to treat the questions relating to the legality of the occupation as being disputed, when in fact it had been settled by the ICJ and every other human rights RS. Also, for example, there was no mention of settlements in the lede, which I added; but this needs more elaboration. There is no mention of the institutional system of discrimination by Israel against the Palestinians per ICJ, which many have called apartheid, in the lede. The weird table below has a row for "claimed by", which insinuates the Sinai Peninsula is "claimed by" Egypt. These are some of the actionable issues for now.

- @Makeandtoss: I think the NPOV tag may be misleading for readers. Can you add a brief rationale on the tag summarizing your points from here? Wretchskull (talk) 11:11, 1 August 2024 (UTC)
- Indeed, there are issues that could be improved, but after reconsideration this doesn't warrant the tag. Main actionable issue: lack of mention of apartheid in the lede. Makeandtoss (talk) 08:27, 2 August 2024 (UTC)

edit"The modern era or the modern period is considered the current historical period of human history. It was originally applied to the history of Europe and Western history for events that came after the Middle Ages, often from around the year 1500. From the 1990s, it is more common among historians to refer to the period after the Middle Ages and up to the 19th century as the early modern period." From the relevant article. The time frame described in the article dealing with the conquests is limited to the 20th/21st century. The modern period is longer. Therefore, the sentence is misleading. 2.55.164.132 (talk) 06:26, 9 October 2024 (UTC)
Egypt and jordan
editwhy Egypt and jordan controled and Israel occupies? The Egyptian and Jordanian rule there were not recognized internationally and in the Egyptian case the territory was not even annexed. It is npov 2.55.164.132 (talk) 06:31, 9 October 2024 (UTC)
Grammatical errors in the first paragraph
edit"Prior to 1967, the Palestinian territories was (-> were) split between the Gaza Strip controlled by Egypt and the West Bank (controlled) by Jordan, while the Sinai Peninsula and the Golan Heights are (-> were) parts of Egypt and Syria, respectively."
"The Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories and the Golan Heights, where Israel had transferred its parts of population there and built large (sentence beyond repair, replacement suggestion: "- roughly 750,000 Israeli settlers live in a multitude of -") settlements,(sources: West Bank + East Jerusalem -> https://www.washingtonpost.com/world/2023/02/02/jewish-settlers-west-bank-half-million/, Golan Heights -> https://www.france24.com/en/middle-east/20211226-israel-approves-plan-to-double-settler-population-in-golan-heights) is the longest military occupation in modern history."

Context of the 1967 War
editThe article neglects to mention that the 1967 war was a defensive war on the part of the state of Israel, and it is, as a rule, unprecedented for the UN or its associated bodies to have any problem with territories a state seizes in a defensive war.
