The West Bank is a landlocked territory located west of the Jordan River that has been under Israeli military occupation since the 1967 Six-Day War. Home to approximately three million Palestinians and over 500,000 Israeli settlers, the area remains central to the broader Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Under the 1990s Oslo Accords, the territory is divided into Areas A, B, and C, with Israel maintaining full security and civil control over Area C. While the majority of the international community considers Israeli settlements in the territory illegal, Israel disputes this interpretation.

It is not occupied. It is disputed area. Occupied would have been if there was an independent country there previously, which is not the case.
