Israel and Palestine

The region known as Palestine is a complex geopolitical situation with multiple entities exerting control. The main areas of control are:
-State of Israel: The Israeli government controls significant parts of the West Bank, maintains a blockade on the Gaza Strip and occupies the Golan Heights since 1967.
-Palestinian Authority (PA): The PA, led by the Fatah political party, has limited self-rule in parts of the West Bank, but its authority is subject to various restrictions.
-Hamas: The militant and terrorist group Hamas controls the Gaza Strip. It won the legislative elections in 2006 and took control of Gaza in 2007.
