"Occupied Territories" refer to regions that are under the military control of a foreign power, often following conflict or war. These areas may have their own local populations and governments, but the occupying force exerts significant influence over their administration and security. A well-known example is the West Bank and Gaza Strip, which are territories that have been under Israeli control since the 1967 Six-Day War. The status of these areas is a central issue in the ongoing Israeli-Palestinian conflict, with debates surrounding sovereignty, rights, and the future of the local populations.
