The "Derekh Ha'avot," or "Road of our Patriarchs," runs on Israel's central mountain range from Beer-Sheba in the south through Hebron, Jerusalem up to Shechem and other Biblical sites.It was used by Abraham on his way to sacrifice his son Isaac.More than 80% of Biblical events took place in areas along this road.The major cities and towns in Judea and Samaria have existed for over 4,000 years,since Biblical times.

Israel in the Middle EastAn isolated democracy in a sea of totalitarian states
Israel lies on the eastern Mediterranean Basin, and borders on Lebanon, Syria, Jordan and Egypt. There are 22 Arab countries surrounding it, that is, 22 dictatorships or unstable regimes in the region and just one Jewish democratic state.Israel upholds democratic values, providing equal rights to Arabs and Jews, men and women.There are over 500 million Muslims and 7 million Jews living in this region. The Arab world is 500 times larger than the State of Israel.

Map No. 5 The British Mandate in the Land of Israel.Current-day Israel is only a quarter the size of the original Land of Israel
1917: The Balfour Declaration announces the support of Great Britain for the establishment of a national homeland for the Jewish People in the Land of Israel. 1920: At the San Remo Conference, the Principal Allied Powers allocated to Great Britain a mandate over the Land of Israel to implement that goal.Following Arab riots in 1920-22, British Colonial Secretary Winston Churchill published the White Paper in 1922, dividing Transjordan into east and west and retreating from the goal of creating a wholly Jewish Palestine.1923: The League of Nation divides the original "Land of Israel" into two parts: 76% East of the Jordan River renamed Transjordan and given to Emir Abdullah, and 24% West of the Jordan River designated for the Jews.

Mandate boundary
The UN's proposal for partitioning the western part of the Land of Israel into a Jewish state and an Arab state was based on the locations of population centers.15,000 square kilometers, about 54 percent, were to be a Jewish democratic state, while the remaining 12,000 square kilometers, or 45 percent, an Arab democratic state. About 187 square kilometers, or some 1 percent, mostly in Jerusalem, would be under an internationalized regime.On November 29, the UN voted on partition, with 33 countries backing the plan, 13 against (including the Arab countries), and 10 countries abstaining. The leadership of the Jews living in the Land of Israel accepted the decision and worked towards implementing it. However, the Arab leadership in the area, the Arab League and other Arab states rejected the offer outright. Thus, it never became a binding agreement. Following that rejection, the Arabs living in the mandate immediately took up arms and began fighting the not-yet-born State of Israel. The partition idea died in infancy because the Arab side rejected it. In May 1948, after the British army left the Land of Israel, seven Arab armies and other irregular forces invaded the newly created State of Israel with the goal of destroying it. They failed.
Up until 1967, Egypt controlled the Gaza strip under military rule, as conquered territory but not part of Egypt itself. In 1951, Jordan annexed Judea and Samaria, a move which was not recognized by the international community or by the Arab League. The Arabs themselves rejected the idea.During the Six-day-war Israel urged Jordan not to join Egypt and Syria in the fighting, however King Hussein decided to open fire on Israel. During this war Israel conquered Judea, Samaria,the Golan Heights, Sinai and the Gaza Strip and assumed administrative control over these area. In 1967 the Israeli Knesset extended Israel’s legal and administrative jurisdiction to all of Jerusalem and expanded the city’s municipal borders. In 1981 Israel extended its legal control of the Golan Heights.As per the peace treaty concluded with Egypt,all the Sinai was returned to Egypt in 1982,a move which included uprooting all the Jewish communities that had been established there.Egypt rejected the offer to regain the Gaza Strip. In 1988, Jordan's King Hussein declared that Judea and Samaria, illegally occupied and annexed by his grandfather in 1951,were not part of the Jordanian kingdom and turned the area into territory not officially belonging to any state, leaving Judea and Samaria a legal "no mans land". In 1994, in the peace treaty with Jordan, new borders were set between Jordan and Israel. In 2005, Israel unilaterally withdrew from the Gaza Strip, expelled its Jewish population and destroyed all the Jewish communities there.

The State of Israel has been in control of Judea and Samaria for over 44 years - almost the same time as the British and the Jordanians combined.Israel's leaving the Gaza Strip led to massive rocket fire on Ashdod and Beer-Sheba.The mountain range of Judea and Samaria reaches a height of 1,100 meters and dominates Israel's population center from Beer-Sheba and Ashkelon in the South to Netanya and Afula in the North.

The height of the Coastal Plain from the sea to the Green Line rises from 0 to 100 meters above sea level.The height of the area of Judea and Samaria is between 100 and 1100 meters above sea level, and control of the area means full topographic control of the region.It takes only three minutes to fly from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea. Control of the mountain range allows the defense of Israel's eastern border. Beyond that border lie Jordan, Iran and Iraq, with considerable political and security instability and risk. The mountain range in Judea and Samaria allows for protection against aerial or other invasion from the east.

Under the Oslo Agreements, 40 percent of the land was turned over to Palestinian Authority (PA) civilian rule (Area B). Some of it (the large cities) was turned over to PA security control as well (Area A).More than 95 percent of the Arab population living in Judea and Samaria lives under Palestinian Authority rule (Area A,B),vote in local elections, pays taxes to the PA and administers its own separate educational, legal, medical and social welfare systems. The Palestinians arabs living there, run their own lives, and there is no "occupation" there.

Fifty percent of Israel’s natural water resources come from the mountain aquifer (including all three of its basins).The rain trickles down from Judea and Samaria and flows into groundwater reservoir under the coastal plain and the coast itself. Whoever controls this area, controls water pollution or overuse of water resources. The water requirements of the Arabs living in Judea and Samaria have increased greatly in the past 40 years.They are now almost equal in demand per capita to that of Israelis, largely due to Israeli improvements in the water infrastructure and the advancement of Arab society.The Arabs here have a far better quality of life than their neighbors in Jordan.

Jerusalem has been the Jewish capital for over 3,000 years.Since 1864 Jews have been an absolute majority in Jerusalem. Jerusalem, mentioned over 600 times in the Bible, is not mentioned once in the Koran.In 1967, Israel widened Jerusalem’s municipal boundaries of the city to include areas east, north and south of the former 1949 armistice lines which had been under Jordanian rule for 19 years.The State of Israel rebuilt the destroyed Jewish Quarter inside the walls of the Old City.The Government of Israel also built the new neighborhoods of Ramat Eshkol, French Hill, Gilo, Har Homa, Neve Yaakov, Pisgat Ze'ev, Armon Hanatziv and others in those sectors of the city.As of 2008, Jerusalem includes 510,000 Jews (317,000 in the western neighborhoods and 193,000 in eastern neighborhoods) while 264,000 Arabs live in eastern neighborhoods of Jerusalem.
