In the section, there are 2 photos. One has a description "Palestinian girl in Nablus", the other is "Jewish children in Tal Menashe." First of all, why does one description have a full stop and the other doesn't? And second, why is onePalestinian (nationality) and the other isJewish (religion)? Considering it's impossible to determine the religion of the girl just by the photo, would it not be better to be Palestinian/Israeli or Palestinian/Palestinian if the children are just Palestinian Jews, not Israeli?46.188.139.2 (talk)18:26, 2 July 2025 (UTC)[reply]
There is much in the news today (multiple major sources in many national & inter-national media) about the "Emirate of Hebron" proposal of a group of sheikhs on the West Bank.
I added a simple sentence about the proposal to the article, with two sources.
In July 2025, five tribal sheikhs from the Hebron district of the West Bank proposed to establish an autonomousemirate, separate from the Palestinian Authority, to form an "Emirate of Hebron" in the largest district of the West Bank,Hebron. They would seek to govern a part of Hebron separated from PA control and create aspecial economic zone achieve greater economic growth and stability.[1][2]
It was reverted by another editor as too trivial to mention in this article. Cool second opinion. So let's follow standard wiki-BRD practice.Bold edit;Revert it if an editor cares to; thenDiscuss it on the Talk page. THis is that Discussion.
Proposal: The proposedEmirate of Hebron political entity ought to, at least, be mentioned in theWest Bank article, as it is notable. If not the sentence above, some other sentence. But the topic should be mentioned here. With 10 or 20 tribal sheiks involved, it is as important as many incidents of political violence or other political events that are typically covered once they are verifiable and notable.

Description of suggested change:
Simple fix to the "In the Israeli-Palestinian conflict" comment that was invalidated bythis edit, later only partially fixed bythis edit. End of second paragraph in intro.
The English structure of the first sentence of the article sounds unnatural and off. Without changing any content or even the contents, order, please consider simply fixing it to “TheWest Bank, located on the western bank of theJordan River, is the larger of the twoPalestinian territories that make up theState of Palestine (the other Palestinian territory being theGaza Strip).2804:214:8821:87B9:D108:FCD0:14F8:2CDD (talk)21:41, 19 October 2025 (UTC)[reply]
