  • The name of the area in question is a point of contention both internationally and within Israel, and it is called different names in differing institutions.

The article discusses a legislative proposal by Israeli parliament member Simcha Rothman to amend all references to the "West Bank" in Israeli law to "Judea and Samaria," the biblical names for the region. This initiative, which has passed its first reading in the Knesset, aims to reflect a more historical and ideological naming preferred by some Israeli nationalists, who view these territories as part of the ancestral land of the Jewish people. The bill has sparked controversy, with critics arguing that it could complicate peace negotiations and international relations by implying a claim of sovereignty over the area, which is internationally recognized as occupied territory. The change in terminology is seen by supporters as a step towards normalization and integration of these areas into Israel, while opponents see it as an attempt to erase Palestinian identity and rights in the region.
