MODERATORS
Technically yes because formally there are two autonomous regions (Gaza and West Bank) on Israeli soil.
Has Israel actually claimed the West Bank and Gaza as its territory? I thought the Israelis were content to be conquerors and occupiers. Claiming the land would mean either expelling the Palestinians (not politically expedient even for Netanyahu -- yet -- which is why he's settled for simply killing them all instead) or granting them citizenship and the right to participate in Israel's government (a nonstarter for any Israeli government since Rabin).
They never acknowledged any borders partitioning Palestine and Israel, so technically they claimed it with agreeing to various peace agreements like not settling in Gaza strip.
Edit: And they vehemently oppose Palestinian statehood. They had the US veto a UN vote on that a decade or so ago.
