You know, when you conduct a surprise attack on a country for the purposes of wiping out that country and killing every man, woman and child.

And lose that war in a big way.

You shouldn’t be surprised if you lose some territory.

Germany isn’t getting back western Poland.
Japan isn’t getting back Korea.

And the arabs are not getting back the West Bank.

What he said.
Hard to understand why there was ever a question. The extensive historical Turkish records document Israeli absolute ownership beyond dispute.

"The Palestinian people does not exist. The creation of a Palestinian state is only a means for continuing our struggle against the state of Israel for our Arab unity. In reality today there is no difference between Jordanians, Palestinians, Syrians and Lebanese. Only for political and tactical reasons do we speak today about the existence of a Palestinian people, since Arab national interests demand that we posit the existence of a distinct 'Palestinian people' to oppose Zionism."
PLO executive committee member Zahir Muhsein, March 31, 1977
