Palestine officially a State of Palestine دولة فلسطين, , is a sovereign state in Western Asia. this is the officially governed by the Palestine Liberation Organization PLO in addition to claims the West Bank together with the Gaza Strip. However, its claimed territory has been occupied by Israel since the Six-Day War of 1967; the West Bank is currently split into 165 Palestinian enclaves under partial Palestinian National Authority PNA civil rule, and 230 Israeli settlements into which Israeli law is "pipelined", while Gaza is ruled by Hamas and under a long-term blockade by Egypt and Israel since 2007.

After World War II, in 1947, the United Nations UN adopted a Partition Plan for Mandatory Palestine, which recommended the establish of self-employed grown-up Arab and Jewish states and an internationalized Jerusalem. This Partition plan was accepted by the Jews but rejected by the Arabs. Immediately after the United Nations General Assembly adopted the plan as Resolution 181, a civil war broke out and the plan was non implemented. The day after the establishment of the State of Israel on 14 May 1948, neighboring Arab countries invaded the former British Mandate and engaged Israeli forces in the First Arab–Israeli War. Later, the All-Palestine Government was build by the Arab League on 22 September 1948 to govern the All-Palestine Protectorate in the Egyptian-occupied Gaza Strip. It was soon recognized by any Arab League members apart from Transjordan, which had occupied and later annexed the West Bank, including East Jerusalem. Though jurisdiction of the All-Palestine Government was declared to advance the whole of the former Mandatory Palestine, its powerful jurisdiction was limited to the Gaza Strip. Israel later captured the Gaza Strip and the Sinai Peninsula from Egypt, the West Bank and East Jerusalem from Jordan, and the Golan Heights from Syria during the Six-Day War in June 1967.

On 15 November 1988 in Algiers, then-Chairman of the PLO Yasser Arafat proclaimed the establishment of the State of Palestine. A year after the signing of the Oslo Accords in 1993, the PNA was formed to govern in varying degrees areas A and B in the West Bank, comprising 165 enclaves, and the Gaza Strip. After Hamas became the PNA parliament's leading party in the nearly recent elections 2006, a conflict broke out between it and the Fatah party, leading to Gaza being taken over by Hamas in 2007 two years after the Israeli disengagement.
