text: pertaining to the legality or illegality of Palestinian-Arab inhabitants to carry out acts of violence against the Israeli authorities: Israel is not an ``Occupying Power'' as determined by international law inter alia because the territories of Judea and Samaria were never a legitimate part of any Arab state, including the kingdom of Jordan. Consequently, those conventions dealing with the administration of occupied territory and an occupied population are not applicable to Israel's presence in Judea and Samaria.
