Israel won the Six Day War in 1967, a war started by the aggression of surrounding Arab nations. Chances of winning were nil so it was a miracle that they did. Since then 53 years have gone by.
Today there are in Judea and Samaria almost 200 cities, towns and a few villages that are populated by Jews; Jew who do care about their history, as this is the most historic area in Jewish history. There are cities with the population of over 73,000 to villages of 150 population in Judea and Samaria. These are lumped together by foreigners who call them all "settlements". People don't realize the closeness that is going on in teeny Israel. For instance, a "settlement" may exist only a few miles away from Jerusalem.
Update: 5/21/20
Area A: Area A is the space in which the PA has political and military jurisdiction over its residents – all of whom are Arab.
This includes all of the major towns and their immediate environs – with the partial exception of Jewish Hebron, which came under exclusive Israeli control in the 1997 Hebron protocol between Israel and the PLO. This area comprises approximately 18 percent of Judea and Samaria’s land mass.

Area B: In Area B, Israel and the PA share jurisdiction.
It's interesting the the some towns Arabs are living in have history as Jewish towns. "One-quarter of the 584 Arab localities in Israel and beyond the Green Line have ancient Biblical names. For example, Sakhnin was a Jewish town during the Talmudic era, and Beit Lehem is the Hebrew name for the biblical city of Bethlehem." Homes have been found to still bear very old Hebrew inscriptions on them.
Most Arabs are as new in Israel as many of the Jews were for as researcher/journalist Joan Peters explained, came in following Jewish immigrants from surrounding areas to obtain jobs in building. They were allowed to enter the country by the British who prevented Jewish immigration at the same time.
The name Judea, when used in Judea and Samaria, refers to all of the region south of Jerusalem, including Gush Etzion and Har Hebron. The region of Samaria, on the other hand, refers to the area north of Jerusalem. East Jerusalem has been incorporated into the Jerusalem District and is under Israeli civilian rule, and is thus excluded from the administrative structure of the Judea and Samaria Area.
Jerusalem is now a united city, no longer divided.
Yellow area is Israel includes all of Jerusalem
Red Stripes-Area C most likely

West Bank is not just land along the Jordan River but the whole mountain range of Judea and Samaria. It is simply the appetizer if taken over for the dinner of the USA if attacked by enemies. Comment by Mark Langfan.
Almost 450,000 Jews live in Judea and Samaria today. That's close to Portland, Oregon's population in 1990.
There are about 2.5--2.7 million Arabs living there as well,
about the same population as Toronto, Canada was in 2016.
The state of Israel now has a little over 6 million Jews and over 2 million Arabs, all who can vote. Total as of today is
8,655,535.
Israel's land size is 8,550 sq. miles
Judea-Samaria's land size is 2,270 miles.
Total size: 10,820 sq. miles
Total size of Portland, Oregon is 145 sq. miles
Total size of Toronto, Canada is 243.3 sq miles
Israel was once compared to New Jersey's 7,439 sq miles, but Massachusetts might be as close with a listed 7,838 sq. miles. Are they including the Dead Sea in Israel's measurements?
"As we have made consistently clear, we are prepared to recognize Israeli actions to extend Israeli sovereignty and the application of Israeli law to areas of the West Bank that the vision foresees as being part of the State of Israel," US State Department spokesperson says.
