This presentation, is an inquiry and investigation into this simple question: Who governs the West Bank and Gaza Strip, and how? While the question is simple, the answer is very complex. This is because it involves territoriality, ethnicity, nationality, religion, services, people, gender, language, IDs and travel documents, citizenship status, areas or residence, etc. I do not promise to provide a comprehensive answer, but in this presentation I hope to provide possible approaches to the inquiry.

Keywords: #Palestine – Politics and government, #Rule of law – Palestine.
