Some Facts About the West Bank:

CITIZENSHIP: Palestinians in the West Bank are not citizens of any country.  Technically.  By most they are considered an occupied territory, and occasionally recognized as a full-fledged state.  However, since the Palestinian Authority is not recognized as a government, at least according to U.S. State Department, then the land cannot be recognized as a state nor the people dwelling there as citizens.
