What is Florida’s bill and how it could rewrite the West Bank as Judea and Samaria
Florida’s proposed Recognizing Judea and Samaria Act seeks to replace the internationally recognized term “West Bank” with “Judea and Samaria” across K-12 schools, public colleges, and state agencies. Critics warn it could marginalize Palestinian narratives and skew historical understanding, while supporters argue it affirms Jewish historical claims. The bill highlights the politicization of education and contested historical terminology.
