About
The Palestinian Authority (PA), formerly known as the Palestinian National Authority, is an interim self-government body established to administer parts of the West Bank and Gaza Strip on behalf of the Palestinian people. It serves as the primary governing entity in the Palestinian territories, handling civil administration, security, and limited foreign relations, while aspiring toward full statehood. Ramallah functions as its de facto administrative center, and it is recognized internationally as the representative of the Palestinians.
