Before World War I, the area ka the West Bank was considered a part of the province of Syria within the Ottoman Empire. In 1920, by the decisions of the victorious Allies, the area became ka the British Mandate of Palestine. After World War II, the area was captured during the Arab-Israeli War of 1948, and annexed by Jordan. Jordan maintained rule over the area until 1967, even though Jordanian claims found no major international recognition other than by the United Kingdom. Israelcaptured the West Bank during the Six-Day War of June 1967. But Jordan made no official relinquishment of claims to the land until 1988.
JORDAN.
From 1949-1967, the West Bank was a province of Jordan and included all areas within the Mandate of British Palestine along the Jordan River which Israel did not control prior to 1967. It represents roughly 18% of the total area of the British Mandate of Palestine, making it the largest Israeli acquisition of Palestinian territory in the Six Day War of 1967. It is home to many Ancient Jewish and Christian sites/cities like Nablus (Shchem), Bethlehem, Hebron, and Jericho. Depending on whether Jerusalem is considered distinct from the West Bank, the West Bank may also include the Old City of Jerusalem and East Jerusalem.
Israel did not take anything away from Egypt in the Arab-Israeli War of 1973. In the Arab-Israeli War of 1967, Israel took the Sinai Peninsula from Egypt.
Yes, Palestine was a country. When Israel was created in 1948, the land was occupied by the British and before that the Turkish Empire. When the UN created Israel after the Holocaust they wanted to split the land in half. Half as Palestine and half as Israel. Arabs did not like the idea. As the British retreated from Israel all the neighboring Arab countries tried to take over Israel. A war ensued and as the Jewish people pushed back their Arab neighbors they declared the land Israel. Palestinians today who live in the West Bank were Jordanian before the war, but never went back to live Jordan, because they want to stay in their home country. The West Bank and Gaza both are Palestinian and are still in Israel, but are run by their own Palestinian governments. Palestinians are determined to get THEIR land back.___________________________________________________________ Palestine has been semi-autonomous (the Palestinian Authority) since renouncing war on Israel in the 1990's. As stated above, the Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza now govern themselves, but they are not an independent country. They are still technically part of Israel. A study of history will show that this land has had many rulers before the Israelis, the Brits, and the Turks. But as the Arabs say"our land will be back".
Yes. Israel took the Sinai Peninsula twice (1956 and 1967) and returned it twice (1957 and 1979-1982). In both cases Israel took the Sinai Peninsula because Egypt was posing a threat to Israel and rather than fight a defensive war within Israeli borders, Israel decided to fight an offensive war. In both 1956 and 1967, Egypt declare a ceasefire without a resolution, meaning that the armistices (with the Sinai securely in Israeli hands) became the de facto borders. Israel withdrew in 1957 due to American pressure and withdrew in 1979-1982 due to a final, lasting peace treaty with Egypt.
The question conflates two different events.Expulsion/Flight: In the Jewish-Arab Engagement of 1947-9, around 720,000 Palestinians fled the nascent state of Israel and built refugee camps in other Arab countries. However, while this war expanded on the area provided to Israel by the UNGA Resolution 181 (II), the additional areas are not designated as unique regions.Taking of Two Regions: In the Six Day War of 1967, Israel conquered several regions which included the Gaza Strip and the West Bank. These are two regions associated with Palestinians. Nobody really fled from Gaza, but 300,000 Palestinians fled from West Bank into Jordan. However, most of these refugees either joined the camps that already existed from 1949 or they (illegally) integrated into the normal Jordanian population, but with severely limited rights.
At one point, Israel controlled all of the Palestinian regions set apart from the nation, the Sinai Peninsula all the way to the Suez Canal, and Syria's Golan Heights. They eventually conceded some of those territories for peace, pursuant to UN Resolution 242.
Israel did not take over another country.
Israel did not take anything away from Egypt in the Arab-Israeli War of 1973. In the Arab-Israeli War of 1967, Israel took the Sinai Peninsula from Egypt.

nobody knows
In 1967 it took 6 days.
1967. Israel fought the war to secure land from Syria, Jordan, Lebanon, and Egypt.
June-5-1967 -> June-10-1967 That's why people refer to the pre-67 borders, i.e. the borders captured by Israel in the Six Day War.

No. The Reserve Bank of India is not a normal bank that offers bank account facilities to customers. It is the central bank of India and it supervises the banking operations of all the banks in the country. They are the banker to all the banks in the country and do not take up customer requests for bank accounts.

Depending on the country, yes.
Answer 1I am not sure what you mean. Israel was created as a sovereign nation in 1948. Prior to that, Jews were scattered throughout the world, including in what was then called Palestine. History shows that Jews had in fact lived in the middle east for many centuries, and while the creation of Israel was controversial to some people in the Arab world, most of the rest of the world (including the US) decided to support the idea. Since the country of Israel is a sovereign nation, just like other countries, the US cannot "take it away" from anyone.Answer 2It was the Romans who kicked the Jews out of the Land of Israel nearly 2000 years ago, not the United States. The United States has consistently defended Israel's Right to Statehood and became a strong ally of Israel after 1967.
