To the United Nations, "Area C" is Palestinian land in the occupied West Bank. Pro-Israel NGOs and more recently a government agency are using email and social media to take aim at foreign media about their "biased" grammar when describing the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

The first two zones constitute around 40 percent of the territory and were due to be largely under Palestinian jurisdiction.
