A system explainer built from country metadata, linked institutions, office timelines, elections, and parties.
Palestine operates under a partial self-governance (palestinian authority, west bank); hamas de facto control (gaza, contested) system in the current dataset.
Palestine is tracked in PoliticaHub as a partial self-governance (palestinian authority, west bank); hamas de facto control (gaza, contested), which gives the page a baseline answer to how executive and legislative authority are arranged.
The executive structure is recorded as: Presidency and Palestinian Authority administration in the West Bank alongside separate Hamas rule in Gaza.
Current head of state: Mahmoud Abbas.
Palestinian Legislative Council (effectively inactive since 2007) is the named legislature in the metadata, and it provides the clearest shorthand for where national lawmaking is centered.
2 institutions are linked to Palestine, which helps map the legislature, executive bodies, or other constitutional actors around the state.
19 parties are connected to Palestine, giving this system page a party-system layer rather than treating institutions in isolation.
No linked election is available yet, which means electoral turnover is still under-documented for this country.
