Yes, its a very simple question: The answer is -- withdraw, it has nothing to do with you. Pack your bags and leave. Tell the settlers to pack up what they can, leave, and don't come back. Israel has a say over Israel -- nothing more and nothing less.

<<Ok, what state does the land belong to? what state should get it back? simple question, right?>>

It is occupied by Israel right now and has been since 1967.

From the 1949 armistice to the 1967 invasion it was under Jordanian control.

Prior to the formation of the state of Israel it was under the control of the British mandate.

Prior to that it was part of the Ottoman empire and so on so forth back through succesive empires.

You ask what state should get it back......how about firstly the one it was taken from last i.e. Jordan. In the interim it could remain under Jordanian control before it becomes the new state of Palestine along with Gaza.

In order for this to be done a complete withdrawal of Israeli Defense forces and illegal settlements would be necessary.
