Review the Israel/Palestine and Morocco/Western Sahara issue for training our models + data visualization #15

Fatalities001 treats Israel and Palestine as one entity, and Morocco and Western Sahara as one. This is problematic for UN users and needs to be resolved, especially for ESCWA. How do we do this?

Please note that this needs to be resolved both at the cm level, and at the pgm level in terms of what grid cells are allocated to which country/region. I believe that the latter is currently drawn from PRIO-GRID; unsure if they treat Israel and Palestine (and M + WS) as one country or separate entities.
