Occupation

The Occupation can be understood as a system of Israeli military rule under which Palestinians are denied civil, political and economic rights and subjected to systematic discrimination and denial of basic freedom and dignity. The Occupation covers Palestinian land seized by Israel during the 1967 War, including the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and Gaza, as well as the Syrian Golan Heights (where the ancestrally Syrian, largely Druze population also lives under Israeli military rule).
