About Palestinian territories
Much of the Palestinian territories are governed by the Palestinian National Authority (PNA or PA), a semi-autonomous state institution created in agreement withIsraeland the United Nations. However, certain areas remain under official orde factocontrol by Israel or Hamas, and travelers should keep their passports and documents with them at all times and be aware of borders or checkpoints when they cross them. It is not clear what the final outcome of negotiations and status talks will be, but most of the international community supports a two-state solution, creating a new, sovereign state — to be called simplyPalestine— and the authority has printed new stationery to reflect its upgraded status at the UN. The State of Palestine was admitted to UNESCO in 2011, and granted observer status
