PALESTINIAN
AUTHORITY
The Palestinian Authority exercises self-government in Gaza and
portions of the West Bank. This entity is not currently an independent state,
but is under the sovereign control of the state of Israel until its final status
is settled. The country of Palestine was mandated by the League of Nations after
WWI and existed under that name until the creation of Israel in 1948. This page
includes links to sites dealing with Palestine, the Palestinian Authority, and
the Palestinian people in Gaza and the West Bank and in the diaspora communities.
