::::::: I think there are a couple of clarifiers needed here. 1st is separating the PNA (the Palestinian government body), and the State of Palestine (the global/political force); like the difference between the Biden administration, and the United States as a country. A second confusing thing is that the PNA is stated as 'Fatah controlled' even though practical and majority power is held by Hamas in the Gaza strip. Globally the PNA is the representative for the single state that is Palestine, and since Hamas is not recognized, and Fatah still hasn't officially transferred power the 'official' government of the State of Palestine (which is the PNA) is run by Fatah. A third confusing thing is lack of clarification between the PLO and Fatah, Fatah is one party that helps make up the PLO. In summary; this article should probably refer to the PNA as 'PLO controlled' rather then 'Fatah controlled' while clarifying that Fatah makes up the majority of the PLO, and also make clear the current political schism that has left Hamas in control of majority seats in the legislature, but does not control official power due to lack of global recognition. Its a horrifically complex situation (and this is just for the names of things!) so it makes sense theres been confusion. I dont have edit access though, so if someone could help push some clarifiers through that would be great!

Media almost always refers to it as such, and when PNA is mentioned, it's always as a formal or alternative name to the PA.

Update recognition

The article mentions 138 nations recognizing Palestine. These figures are outdated. Please fix. Thetreehuggingjersey (talk) 22:08, 27 May 2024 (UTC)

Extended-confirmed-protected edit request on 25 July 2024

This edit request has been answered. Set the |answered= or |ans= parameter to no to reactivate your request.

Clarify text in summary. 64.189.18.53 (talk) 05:37, 25 July 2024 (UTC)

 Not done: it's not clear what changes you want to be made. Please mention the specific changes in a "change X to Y" format and provide a reliable source if appropriate. Left guide (talk) 05:46, 25 July 2024 (UTC)

Sentence in lead makes no sense

The following sentence doesn’t make sense: “ Since January 2013, the Palestinian Authority has used the name "State of Palestine" on official documents, although the United Nations continues to recognize the Palestinian Liberation Organization (PLO) as the "representative of the Palestinian people".” - the use of although seem to imply there is an opposition, or that the PLO and the Palestinian Authority are different things, when in fact they are the exactly same people and institutions. The sentence is super confusing as it is, so I believe it should be cut short at “on official documents”. 2A00:A041:3BA8:4100:A13A:A1E4:180E:66D6 (talk) 17:22, 17 October 2024 (UTC)

Edited to better align with source. Selfstudier (talk) 17:48, 17 October 2024 (UTC)

Semi-Presidential or Parliamentary?

It is requested that an edit be made to the extended-confirmed-protected article at Palestinian Authority. (edit · history · last · links · protection log)

This template must be followed by a complete and specific description of the request, that is, specify what text should be removed and a verbatim copy of the text that should replace it. "Please change X" is not acceptable and will be rejected; the request must be of the form "please change X to Y".

The edit may be made by any extended confirmed user. Remember to change the |answered=no parameter to "yes" when the request has been accepted, rejected or on hold awaiting user input. This is so that inactive or completed requests don't needlessly fill up the edit requests category. You may also wish to use the {{EEp}} template in the response. To request that a page be protected or unprotected, make a protection request.

Change line "government_type = Semi‑presidential" to "government_type = Parliamentary" since Palestinian Basic Law (link below) Article 5 clearly says 'parliamentary system' https://www.elections.ps/Portals/0/pdf/The_Amended_Basic_Law_2003_EN.pdf 77.237.14.246 (talk) 05:28, 13 November 2024 (UTC)
