It's "Israel's river hinterland"

And what caught my attention?

ARAM Society for Syro-Mesopotamian Studies and the Sue and Leonard Miller Center for Contemporary Judaic Studies at the University of Miami, through its Director, Prof. Haim Shaked and Prof. David Graf, organise an international conference about the River Jordan, to be held at the Oriental Institute, the University of Oxford, 15 July 2015.

The conference aims to focus its attention on the three northern sources of the river Jordan (the Dan, Baniyas, and Hasbani streams) and the area of the Sea of Galilee (the sea itself not a topic of the conference) and the Jordan river’s southern course up to where it enters the Dead Sea (the sea itself not a topic of the conference).

Essentially, the conference would cover in its study both banks of the river Jordan (not the hinterland of the riparian countries).


Yep, this:-

both banks of the river Jordan (not the hinterland of the riparian countries).

From now on, the territory is either Judea and Samaria or the Israel's river hinterland.
