VC: "btw, I tried to locate any map that shows 98% of the West Bank not being under Israeli control. I couldn't find anything and I looked through both books and googled my little heart out, so where did you come up with that 98% figure from?"

S: "But 98% of West Bank Palestinians are living in areas entirely under the control of the Palestinian Authority, who do get to decide how to allocate building permits anywhere in their jurisdiction."

Shaktimaan said "98% of West Bank Palestinians" are living under Palestinian control, not that the West Bank, as a land mass, was 98% under Palestinian rule.

Hope that helps. ;)
