(Jerusalem Post) Seth Frantzman - Area C in the West Bank is an abstract invention of the Oslo agreement which divided the West Bank into three sections. The area includes all 121 recognized Jewish communities in the West Bank with a population estimated at 270,000. Area C comprises 62% of the West Bank, or 3,482 sq. km., an area slightly larger than Yosemite National Park in the U.S., and includes the Judean Desert where Israeli military reservations are located. Area C is the place where the land is still in dispute.
