Historical Background[edit | edit source]
According to Wikipedia, many governments recognize Palestine as a state.[1]
"In accordance with the Oslo agreement signed in Washington on September 13, 1993, the Palestinian self-government began issuing Palestinian Authority Passport/Travel Documents in 1995."[2]
To understand who lived in the area of Palestine and when, see the Wikipedia article, State of Palestine.
Coverage and Compliance[edit | edit source]
National Census
Palestine Census Bureau of Statistics includes number of Palestinians in Israel from 1948 to 2017. But those individuals will most likely be recorded in Israeli archives. The Palestinian Census estimates 85-90% coverage. It includes only Palestinians in Palestinian Territories, and does not include foreigners in Palestine, or Palestinians who hold Israeli citizenship.
There were two British Censuses done. One in 1922 and another in 1931.
Jordan did a census in 1952 that included three districts - Hebron, Nablus, and Jerusalem.
In 1967 there was an Israeli Census. This included:
- Name of family/clan
- First Name
- Name of Father and Mother
- Name of Grandfather
- Address
- Passport/Identification Number
- Gender
- Marital Status
- Members of Household
There are also numbers for people exiled.
