The West Bank is a piece of land in the Middle East. It touches the Dead Sea and the River Jordan. The landscape is mostly hills or desert. The weather in the summer is hot and dry. It is cooler and rainy in the winter. Right now, the area is under the control of Israel. Some Israelis and other nations disagree on whose it really is.
Right now, talks between the Israeli government and the Palestinian National Authority, which leads Palestine, are taking place. These talks are about what will happen in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip in the future. Most people on the West Bank are Palestinians but there also many Jewish settlers in settlements. There has been some controversy about these settlements.
