Categories of land that Israel reserves under its total control and jurisdiction awaiting their status to be determined through negotiations that are scheduled to begin in 1999 to determine their status following the end of the interim process, the framing agreements of which expired on 4 May 1999.
These are lands that fall under sole Israeli rule and are excluded from the Interim Process as final-status lands: (1) lands of settlements, (2) lands of annexed Jerusalem, (3) lands of military areas, and (4) borders. Israel enjoys all aspects of jurisdiction in these areas and is, thus, fully responsible as the occupying power. The spatial definition of all these areas remains ambiguous.
