Episode Details

What happens when territory is held in legal limbo for decades? This episode traces two parallel stories: Egypt's 19-year administration of the Gaza Strip (1948–1967), where a phantom Palestinian government existed on paper while Cairo controlled everything, and Israel's 1967 application of full Israeli law to East Jerusalem — a move the UN called invalid but that Israel never labeled annexation. From armistice lines drawn through villages to the Knesset legislating where military orders once ruled, we explore how the boundaries of law shape the boundaries of land.
