In the wake of the 1948 Arab–Israeli War, and after the 1949 Armistice Agreements, az-Zubaidat came under Jordanian rule. It was annexed by Jordan in 1950.
Since the Six-Day War in 1967, az-Zubaidat has been under Israeli occupation.
In 1970, Israel confiscated land from az-Zubaidat in order to construct the settlement of Argaman.[3]
After the 1995 accords, 1% of the az-Zubaidat's land was classified as Area A, the remaining 99% as Area C.[3]
In 1997, refugees constituted 96% of the population.[4] The primary health care facilities for the village are designated by the Ministry of Health as level 2.[5] In January 2010 Robert Fisk reported that the EU-funded installation of a wast-water system was stopped by the Israelis, as part of what he called "ethnic cleansing via bureaucracy".[6]
