The remaining territories of pre-1948 Palestine, the West Bank – including East Jerusalem- and Gaza Strip, were administered from 1948 till 1967 by Jordan and Egypt, respectively.Because Bethlehem is part of the Palestinian Territories, it is not possible to take a taxi there; Israelis are not permitted to enter.
