It is a question of International law. As long as a treaty is not signed the west bank of the Jordan/Judea Samarie are disputed territories not "occupied" you can't occupy what does not belong to someone. It is not anymore Ottoman Empire since the Turks lost it in the first world war after 4 centuries it belonged to them. It is not anymore British Mandat and. not anymore occupied territory by Jordan since they lost it during their war with Israel and they signed a peace treaty with Israel and have no claim for it anymore! A letter cannot change facts neither laws
