Sorry, Israel bares responsibility for the governance of the territories.
Even when the _ground based_ military moved out, Israel still held sway in the air and the sea... Keeping functions like the population registry for itself. It is the dominant power, it bares responsibility in very much the same way as the UK.
Israel, to all intents and purposes, 'owns' the territories - whether they should or not is another matter - and systematically escalates 'The Troubles' rather than dealing with them in a semi-rational manner.
