Geography of the Palestinian territories


The following outline is provided as an overview of and topical guide to the State of Palestine:

Palestine is politically under the jurisdiction of the Palestinian government and the Hamas Government in Gaza. Since the Palestinian Declaration of Independence in 1988 and the consequent admission into UN as an observer state in 2012, Palestine is today recognized by three-quarters of the world's countries. Although recently promoted to a non-member state status in the UN, the State of Palestine is not recognized by Israel and some major Western nations, including much of the European Union as well as Canada, Australia, Japan, the United States, and Mexico (For a full list, see International recognition of the State of Palestine).


Note: West Bank includes the northern portion of the Dead Sea with a 40 km (25 mi) shoreline.
