West Bank
region, Palestine
Also known as: Al-Ḍaffah al-Gharbīyah, Judaea and Samaria, ha-Gadah ha-Maʾaravit
West Bank, area of the former British-mandated (1920–47) territory of Palestine west of the Jordan River, claimed from 1949 to 1988 as part of the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan but occupied from 1967 by Israel. The territory, excluding East Jerusalem, is also known within Israel by its biblical names, Judaea and Samaria.
Within its present boundaries, the West Bank represents the portion of the former mandate retained in 1948 by the Arab forces that entered Palestine after the departure of the British.
The borders and status of the area were established by the Jordanian-Israeli armistice of April 3, 1949. In the decades that followed the armistice, Jordan, Israel, and the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) each laid claim to the approximately 2,185-square-mile (5,660-square-km) area. Population (2024 est.) 4,026,000; population excluding Israeli settlements, 3,325,905. Population density (2025) 1,926.3 people per square mile; (2025) 743.6 people per square km.
Regardless of which home, church, temple, assembly or location you are at or in, may it be a house of prayer. So, much of what we do here, we do together. We want to invite you to JOIN us in Corporate Health Prayers by submitting your prayers in the comments below or via email. After reviewing the prayer requests on the following Friday, we will pray corporately and include your prayer request for health and healing.
If you do not have a church home (place of worship), please let us know that. We believe this is an integral part of your health and healing journey. Although, God is God alone! Stay Tuned for Our Up and Coming Seek & Find Section: where we will offer viewers, readers, members, partners, subscribers, etc. resources and information to learn about and find a local (traditional) place of worship for your Journey with God and his Healing Promises. May God continue to Bless you. We also understand Cora Jakes has prayer resources also.
Would you like US to pray with you, then leave a post (comment) or contact US directly.
