How large are the territories of Israel and the occupied territories of Gaza and West Bank?

Question

How big are these territories, how many miles?

Answer 1

Some general knowledge.

Israel is one of the tiniest nations on the face of the earth... only about 8,000 sq. miles, 2½ times the size of Rhode Island and only slightly larger than the Canary Islands!.  It is only 260 miles at its longest, has a 112-mile coastline, 60 miles at its widest, and between 3 and 9 miles at its narrowest!  A very high-powered rifle could launch a projectile right across the country! This is particularly frightening when one considers that 65% of Israel's population is within this 9-mile wide section (Tel Aviv area).

Israel in its pre-1967 borders was 8,000 square miles or 20,770 square kilometers, just barely bigger than New Jersey.

Area: Gaza Strip - 216 square miles; West Bank – 3,516 square miles

Answer 2

There is no occupation and there are no refugees. Since Israel became independent in 1948 they have repeatedly offered parts of their country to the PLO which refused every time, so all of Judea, Samaria and Gaza are still parts of Israel. How could they accept independence or declare independence when this would end their professional status as the world's favourite victims. They may even lose their very own UN agency.

Answer 3

It doesn't matter how large.. you should have asked about the "population" of jews in these lands..

it is VERY LOW , and the reasons are:

1- israel should not be established above the braves of the innocents,after killing them and raping their lands

2- the constant attack on every and each area in israel .. in other words:the constant murder of israelis.

Answer 4

The whole Israel is about the size of New Jersey (individual areas I don't really know), but can you imagine a whole ruckus throughout the world over New Jersey?

Answer 5

Israel...20,770 sq. km. or 8020 sq. miles (slightly smaller than the U.S. state of New Jersey).

West Bank...5860 sq. km. or 2263 sq. miles (slightly smaller than the U.S. state of Delaware).

Gaza Strip...360 sq. km. or 139 sq. miles (slightly more than twice the size of Washington D.C., U.S.A.).
