Subdivisions Of Palestine
The subdivisions of the State of Palestine are created by the Palestinian National Authority (PNA). The PNA does not control all the entities that it claims and it is only partly recognized as a sovereign state. The Oslo Accords describe different levels of control for areas named A, B, C. There are two main areas claimed by the PNA: the Gaza Strip, which is fully Area A, and the West Bank which is A, B, C. Since 2007, two governments claim to be legitimate governments of the State of Palestine; one has control of the Gaza Strip, the other of the West Bank. In 1994 the Palestinian Ministry of Local Government (MoLG) established 483 local government units, encompassing 103 municipalities and village councils and small clusters. In addition, 16 governorates were also created. Later reforms tended to reduce the number of local governments units (municipalities and villages). The PNA is also turned towards pooling municipalities together through intercommunal entities, called Join ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |
