[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]The West Bank, like Gaza, were captured by Israel during the 6-Day War in 1967, when Israel defeated the combined militaries of Egypt, Jordan, and Syria.  Prior to that conflict, the West Bank had been under Jordanian control. It was never an independent territory, and Jordan shows no interest in recovering it, having renounced claims to the area in 1988.  It has historically been occupied by both Arabs and Jews.

Formal annexation merely regularizes the post-1967 geopolitical reality.

As long as we ignore the post-1993 geopolitical reality.

Well, the Oslo Accords never had popular support in either Israel or among the Palestinians, so the reality is they never had any practical effect.  Hamas also unhelpfully worked to undermine any possibility of their implementation, through their usual "diplomatic" approach of relentless terrorism.
