Answer 1

The answer is c. Israel won the West Bank in the 1967 War. As a result of this, many people were taken out of their homes and became refugees. Israel then constructed many settlements for Jews to live in. This move was criticized as Illegal. To this day, Israel still occupies the West Bank.
