What territories are you describing when you say "within the borders that Israel claims as it's own."

The West Bank, which is occupied territory. E.g., it's not part of Israel under international law, but Israel claims it as its own.

Ty for clarifying, West Bank settlements are absolutely abhorrent, but I've seen too many people use the phrase claimed territory to refer to all of Israel. I appreciate the response and clarification

IMO, the 1947 UN borders are fairly reasonable, and Jerusalem should probably be administered by rotating 3rd parties (since there's no way that Israel and Palestine can realistically jointly govern Jerusalem due to how religiously charged it is).
