Judea and Samaria or what is referred to by some as the West Bank, a name given it when illegally occupied by Jordan, is not, nor has it ever been, "Palestinian" land. It is the historical heartland of the Jewish people, a place where they resided for generations until being ethnically cleansed by the Jordanians. Israel would gladly give it to the "Palestinians" for a state if the security of Israel could be assured. The experience with Gaza and the continuing PA supported terrorist activity against Jews makes it clear that the "Palestinian" leadership is incapable of providing that assurance.
