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"?

"Legal justification" is an odd expression to the Israeli dictionary for politics
What is the legal justification for attacking Turkish flotillas in the International waters?
What is the legal justification for destroying schools, power stations, hospitals,farms, civilian homes in Gaza?
The presence of UN inspectors in the West Bank would give the UN the means to witness the Israeli war crimes against civilians
The Anat/Blau case http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Anat_Kamm-Uri_Blau_af... where hundreds of confidential documents relates to killing Palestinians in cold blood for no reason shows you how do they want to keep the West Bank away from any type of international monitoring

Btizzak to you my learned fiend.
When Jordan signed the peace treaty with Israel at the end of the 80s, Jordan officially renounced any claim to this territory, THAN by the International Law, this land is legally the territory of Israel.
After the war of 1967, Israel annexed the East Jerusalem part.
Now don't be talking Asslo (oops Oslo) when the Palestinians will stop disregard their obligations, Israel will too. So Israel does have the right to decide who enters and who does not. Just like in the terrorist state of Gazastan.
