What legal justification does Israel have for keeping UN inspectors from the West Bank?
Israel keeps insisting the West Bank is not occupied. The inspectors are not allowed even in area "A" where the Palestinian Authority is supposedly in charge. I'm quite certain they're not claiming they're terrorists, so they can't claim security risk.
@simple simon, Strange, have the UN asked to go to France? And if the UN decided to go to Spain, does France have the right to say no? Or are you saying the West Bank IS occupied, and therefore falls under the Geneva convention? Either way you're not answering the question.

@btizzak, strange, I thought Jordan ceded its claim to the Palestinians. So if it is Israeli territory, then I guess Israel is not a democracy but, at least partially, a military dictatorship enforcing apartheid. That's quite a harsh opinion. I thought you were FOR Israel?
@kevin7 whether that is true or not doesn't answer the question. Perhaps Israel has the right to not allow inspectors into Israel, perhaps they have an argument about area "c" (although I would challenge that since thousands of Paletinians live in area "C" and they are not Israeli) but what is their legal argument to deny them into areas "a" and "b"?
