One has the right to expect accuracy on every level from  a show and a person like Dr Phil.
 Jericho was part of ancient Israel. It was always Israel since the time of Joshua. Irrespective of which foreign entity conquered the land, Jericho  was still part of Israel. The first foreign entity to rename the land was the Ottomans, who considered every land that they dominated part of the Ottoman empire. The British were given dominion over the area after World War 2 and named what is present day Israel and Jordan, Palestine after the Balfour Declaration gave the Jewish people the total land mass to the Jewish people for a distinctly Jewish homeland. After Arab riots, the British gave the land west of the Jordan river to the Arabs for an Arab Palestine and ALL the land east of the Jordan for a Jewish Palestine.
The area of ancient Israel that was conquered and illegally annexed by the Jordanians in 1948 became known as the West bank of Jordan. No world body or countryever recognized Jordan's annexation. The land was never an Arab Palestine. Today Jericho is under civil jurisdiction of a group who called the Palestinian Authority but is NOT a part of a non existant county called Palestine.
