Defining the Palestinian Bantustan Matrix - Israel's Settlement Blocs
This map shows Jerusalem sprawled midway between the northern and southern parts of the West Bank. To its west is Israel. To its east, the Judaean Desert descends to the Jordanian border, dominated by the Maale Adumim settlement bloc. Contact between the northern and southern cantons - like contact with Gaza - will depend on Israel's good graces.
Metropolitan Palestinian Jerusalem with Settlement Blocs
This map illustrates the area of metropolitan Palestinian Jerusalem, highlighting settlement blocs and the Apartheid Wall. Jeff Halper of The Israeli Committee Against House Demolitions ("ICAHD") writes: "Since 40% of the Palestinian economy revolves around Jerusalem and its tourist-based economy, the E-1 plan effectively cuts the economic heart out of any Palestinian state, rendering it nothing more than a set of non-viable Indian reservations."
Final Turnout on Elections Day (25 January 2006)
The voter turnout in all electoral districts reached 77.69%. The electoral district of Rafah obtained the highest percentage of votes at 89%. The total number of voters in all the West Bank districts reached 585,003 or 74.18%, while in the Gaza Strip, the total number of voters reached 396,079 or 81.65% of the total number of registered voters.The total number of voters in all electoral districts reached 981,082.
Ma'ale Adumim Land Requisitioned (August 2005)
Map showing the Jerusalem Barrier and land requisitioned for the construction the barrier. The Israeli cabinet set September 1, 2005 as completion date for the Wall around Jerusalem, which will separate more than one-fifth of the Palestinian residents of the city. This map, published by the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs shows the Separation Barrier and land requisitioned in the Jerusalem area.
Gaza Disengagement, West Bank Engagement (18 August 2005)
Map showing Sharon's Gaza disengagement and West Bank engagement. The Israeli pullout from the Gaza settlements will include the removal of Israeli settlers and their goods from 17 illegal settlements, as well as the redeployment of Israeli military forces from the Gaza Strip but it also entails unilateral Israeli actions in the West Bank.
Israel's "Disengagement" Plan (August 2005)
The Israeli pullout from the Gaza settlements will officially begin during the period of 15-17 August 2005. The evacuation will include the removal of Israeli settlers and their goods from 17 illegal settlements, as well as the redeployment of Israeli military forces from the Gaza Strip.
The Separation Barrier - Jerusalem Area (May 2005)
The Israeli cabinet set September 1, 2005 as completion date for the Wall around Jerusalem, which will separate more than one-fifth of the Palestinian residents of the city. This map, published in May 2005 by the Israeli human rights organization B'Tselem, shows the Separation Barrier in the Jerusalem area.
The Separation Barrier in the West Bank (May 2005)
A new map published by the Israeli human rights organization B'Tselem in May 2005. The current route of the separation barrier is the primary cause of human rights violations in the area. Although the route was ostensibly based on security considerations, extraneous reasons, among them the desire to route the barrier east of the settlements and land intended for their expansion, also played a role. These extraneous considerations are improper and cannot justify the violation of Palestinian human rights.
West Bank closures ( April 2005 - November 2004)
As of 12 April 2005, 605 closure barriers were recorded in the West Bank compared to 680 in November 2004. The 605 figure indicates a net decline of 75 closure barriers (in certain governorates the IDF installed additional closure barriers). The bulk of the 75 net decrease occurred in selected areas: 34 were removed from the Bethlehem Governorate, 16 barriers from the Hebron Governorate and 12 from the Jenin Governorate. Most of the closure barriers removed were earth mounds - 92 - which mostly benefited movement between individual Palestinian villages.

The Wall's new route (27 February 2005)
On 20 February 2005, the Israeli government approved a revised route of the Wall. Though the new route includes a number of changes that in specific locations provide some Palestinian communities access once again to other areas of the West Bank, or to a greater percentage of their agricultural land, the Wall’s impact of isolating Palestinian communities from one another, increasing transportation costs and travel distances, impeding the provision of basic services, devastating local economies, and destroying Palestinian territorial contiguity, remains the same.
The Forbidden Road Regime in the West Bank (9 August 2004)
Israel restricts Palestinian travel on forty-one roads and sections of roads throughout the West Bank, totaling more than 700 kilometers of roadway. Three categories of roads, "sterile roads" where Palestinian traffic is completely prohibited, roads where Palestinians require special permits, and roads with restricted access, are dividing the West Bank. The regime applies only to Palestinians. Israeli vehicles are allowed to travel freely along these roadways. Permits for Palestinians to travel on restricted roads are issued at the sole discretion of the Israeli security establishment. By unlawfully discriminating against Palestinians based on their national origin, the Forbidden Roads Regime is reminiscent of the apartheid system that existed in South Africa.
Humanitarian Impact of the Wall (July 2004)
Approximately 157,800 acres2 - or about 11.5 percent - of West Bank land (excluding East Jerusalem) will lie between the Barrier and the Green Line, according to the revised route. (See map attached). This will include 38,500 acres enclosed in a series of enclaves and 119,300 acres in closed areas between the Green Line and the Barrier, excluding East Jerusalem. An additional 4,000 acres are already located in two semi-enclaves, where land is encircled by the Barrier but access via one route is unrestricted.

Humanitarian impact of the wall (8 November 2003)
Preliminary analysis by the Office of the Coordinator of Humanitarian Affairs reveals that the planned new Wall will have severe humanitarian consequences for more than 680,000 Palestinians in the West Bank - well beyond the impact of the current Wall. On October 1, 2003, Israel approved a new plan revealing new information about the Wall's planned route in the southern West Bank. The planned new Wall will be 687 km long.

The West Bank Wall (8 October 2003)
The co-chairs of the Local Aid Coordination Committee (LACC) – the group of international donors to the Palestinians released an overview map of the wall in the West Bank. The map is an annex to a report on the rapid expansion of Israel's "separation barrier" around East Jerusalem: The Impact of Israel's Separation Barrier on Affected West Bank Communities: The "Jerusalem Envelope".

UN Partition Plan (1947)
Britain, unable and unwilling to continue its governance of Palestine, requested the United Nations to take steps to resolve the communal conflict between Palestinians and Zionists. In 1947, the United Nations General Assembly resolved, by a two-thirds majority, to endorse the partition of Palestine into a Jewish and an Arab state (Resolution No. 181). The Partition Plan granted 55 percent of Palestine to the Jews, who at that time comprised only 30 percent of the population, and who owned a mere 6 percent of the land. Within this Jewish state were to have been 407,000 Palestinian Arabs.
Mandate of Palestine (1936)
At the height of the 1936-39 disturbances, a royal commission of inquiry came to Palestine from London to investigate the roots of the Arab-Jewish conflict and to propose solutions. Accompanying the report by the Peel commission was this survey map.
