ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Palestinian territories

Ok kiddo, let me explain to you what Palestinian territories are.

Do you know where Israel is? It's a country in the Middle East. Right next to it are some areas of land called the Palestinian territories.

These territories are the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. The West Bank is land that was occupied by Israel in a war a long time ago. The Gaza Strip is a small piece of land that Israel also controls but has been blockaded to prevent movement of people and goods in and out.

Palestinians are people who live in these territories, and many of them believe that they should have their own country too, called Palestine, just like Israel has their own country. However, they have not yet been able to achieve this goal.

There are many complicated political issues and disagreements between Israel and Palestine, and many countries and organizations around the world are involved in trying to help them find a peaceful solution.
