Israeli Minister Ben-Gvir claimed that areas A, B and C of the West Bank all belong to Israel

Speaking to Channel 14 television broadcasting in Israel, Minister Ben-Gvir claimed that there was no difference between zones A, B and C in the West Bank, created within the framework of the Oslo Accords.

Ben-Gvir said, "There is no difference between regions A, B and C. All the land is ours, this is our country." he said.

The Israeli far-right Minister threatened to eliminate the Palestinian administration and exile Palestinians in the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip if he becomes defense minister following the elections to be held on October 27.

Claiming that 60 percent of Palestinians want to "emigrate", Ben-Gvir said, "I will spare time for this and will manage the process continuously. I will organize a discussion session every week with the participation of all relevant parties." he said.

Ben-Gvir argued that the Israeli army should be given more authority in the occupied West Bank.

The West Bank, which Israel occupied in 1967, is considered occupied territory and part of the future State of Palestine, in accordance with international agreements and United Nations Security Council (UNSC) resolutions.

Although the Palestinian administration was established in the West Bank within the scope of the Oslo Accords signed between the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) and Israel in the 1990s, Israel continued to usurp Palestinian lands and establish illegal settlements in the occupied areas in violation of the agreements.

Oslo Accords

The "Interim Declaration of Self-Government Regulation Principles" agreement, also known as Oslo or 1st Oslo, was signed in Washington, the US capital, on September 13, 1993, between the then Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin and the then Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) leader Yasir Arafat, following the meetings held in Oslo, the capital of Norway.

The agreement aimed to end the years-long conflict between the parties, first to establish an interim Palestinian administration, and to achieve a fair, permanent and comprehensive peace by establishing an independent Palestinian State in 1999.

Within the framework of the "Second Oslo Agreement" signed on September 28, 1995, following the first one, the West Bank; It was divided into zones A, B and C.

The administrative and security management of "Area A", which covers 18 percent of the occupied West Bank, was handed over to Palestine, the administrative management and security of "Area B", which was 21 percent, was handed over to Palestine and its "security" was handed over to Israel, while the "administration and security" of "Area C", which covered 61 percent, was left to Israel.
