Palestine in a nutshell
Palestine is composed of two discontiguous regions, the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. The territories, which were originally contained within the British Mandate of Palestine, were captured and occupied by Jordan and by Egypt in the late 1940s, and captured by Israel in the 1967 Six-Day War.
"Palestinian Territories" is one of a number of designations for these areas.
The territories do not include the Golan Heights captured from Syria during the Six Day War, or the Sinai Peninsula, captured from Egypt at that time but later returned by Israel to Egypt.
This entry does not go into the legal or de facto details, but is oriented to the universities within the region.
For a fuller but still disputed entry see http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Palestinian_territories on Wikipedia.
