Administrative Divisions

Main article: Governorates of the Palestinian National Authority See also: Municipality (Palestinian Authority) and List of cities administered by the Palestinian National Authority

After the signing of the Oslo Accords, the West bank and the Gaza Strip were divided into areas (A, B, and C) and governorates:

Area A refers to the area under PA security and civilian control.
Area B refers to the area under Palestinian civilian and Israeli security control.
Area C refers to the area under full Israeli control such as settlements.

Since the Battle of Gaza (2007) most of the Gaza Strip has been in control of the Hamas, with the Palestinian Authority stating it is officially no longer in control of the Gaza Strip.
