Part or or all of this text stems from the original article at: None _______Economy Edit This Economy—overview: Economic progress in the Gaza Strip has been hampered by attacks on Israel and resultant tight Israeli security restrictions. In 1991 roughly 40% of Gaza Strip workers were employed across the border by Israeli industrial construction and agricultural enterprises with worker remittances supplementing GDP by roughly 50%. Gaza has depended upon Israel for nearly 90% of its external trade. The Persian Gulf crisis and its aftershocks have dealt blows to Gaza since August 1990. Worker remittances from the Gulf states have dropped unemployment and popular unrest have increased and living standards have fallen. Bombings and attacks on Israeli civilians led to the redeployment of Israeli forces in the Gaza Strip in May 1994, which has added to the set of adjustment problems. This series of disruptions has meant a sharp decline in employment in Israel since 1991 and a drop in GDP as a whole. An estimated 378 000 persons were in refugee camps in 1996.

Tamimi Hebron is quite a nice city. Unfortunately it is also a place of religious tensions due to the fact that it is seen by both Moslems and Jews as a very holy place; the graves of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob are to be found in the old center. If you visit Hebron the grave of Abraham is one of the places you should not miss. It has two entrances: one for the mosque part and one for the synagogue part. Both are heavily guarded. The souq (or market) is a very lively place and has some good bargains. On market days you are likely to see women in traditional Palestinian garb. ::::::::Jenin Travel Guide Edit This The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and see Jenin is one of the major towns in the Palestinian Authority north of Ramallah. Although Nablus is a bit more interesting, Jenin is well worth a visit too. It has a very busy market. The village of Burqin is located 3km west of Jenin. The Burqin church is a major draw. It lies on the northern slope of the hill overlooking Wadi Burqin. The church is still used by the Christian Greek Orthodox community of the village. The first church was in the cave where the miracle took place. During the 6th-9th centuries it was extended in front of the cave. The church was then rebuilt during the 12th century and enclosed by a wall. The present church is composed of the cave and the new hall and nave built during the 18th century. :::::::::Jerico Travel Guide Edit This The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and see jericho jericho picture warm all year, around 400 meter below sea level ::::::::Jerusalem Travel Guide Edit This The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and see al-Quds (jerusalem) al-Quds (jerusalem) flow The United Nations decided in 1947 to establish a demilitarized zone in Jerusalem under the aegis of the United Nations Trusteeship Council. None of the parties accepted this. Western Jerusalem came under Israel control in 1948 and East Jerusalem was occupied by Israel in 1967. The status of the city is still disputed and the de facto Israeli annexation has not been internationally accepted. In Jerusalem there are holy sites for Muslims, Christian and Jews. For further information, see under Israel. ::::::Nablus Travel Guide Edit This The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and see photo Nablus is one of the most interesting cities under Palestinian control in the north. Situated 63km north of Jerusalem between the mountains of Gerzim and Ebal. According to archeological excavations, the Biblical town of Shechem is located at the Eastern edge of modern Nablus and is referred to locally as "Tel Balata". Many buildings in the old city of Nablus were built with the stones taken from the ruins of Shechem. Originally a Canaanite city, Shechem is mentioned in the book of Genesis in the Bible as a place where both Abraham and Jacob built alters. Shechem is also mentioned in other books of the Bible, including Joshua, Judges, Kings, Psalms, and Chronicles. Jacob's Well and Joseph's Tomb are/were located in the Eastern part of modern Nablus. A Roman city was founded near Shechem around 72 AD by the Roman Emperor Titus in honor of his father Flavius Vespasian. It was called Flavia Neapolis, the 'New City', until 636 AD when the Arabs took the town, changing its name to Nablus. In the 12th century it was taken by the Crusaders, who changed the name to Naples. Today, Nablus is considered the major commercial and industrial center in the northern West Bank. Olive oil soap, produced from olive oil and caustic soda, is a Nablus specialty, which has been produced for more than 250 years. Nablus is also renowned for its its Kenafa, a tasty oriental pastry. There are more than 300 Samaritans who live in the city and on Mount Gherizim, and more than 330 in Holom, Israel. Samaritans continue to make a Passover sacrifice on Mount Gerizim - their holy site - every year, which attracts many visitors and tourists. They are a small but fascinating community. The old city centre is explored best in in on foot. ::::::: Ramallah Travel Guide Edit This The best resource for sights, hotels, restaurants, bars, what to do and see Ramallah is the capital of the Palestinian Authority and also the place where most things happen.

Al giorno d'oggi il termine Palestina indica anche l'area amministrata dall'ANP o comunque la zona del Medio Oriente abitata da Palestinesi, ma nell'accezione di "regione storica" col termine Palestina si indica grosso modo l'area in cui si estende l'odierno Israele, compresi i territori occupati e la striscia di Gaza. Da notare anche che un Mandato del Regno Unito aveva nome Palestina e comprendeva i territori che adesso sono sotto l'amministrazione di Israele o della Giordania.
Il nome [modifica]Antichi documenti egiziani si riferiscono alla regione il cui nome traslitterato è rtnu (pronuncia convenzionale retenu o recenu). Nella
Bibbia la
Palestina è indicata con diversi nomi. Con la formazione del regno ebraico, "Israele"
diventa anche termine geografico, in contrapposizione comunque a
"filistea", indicante la regione costiera ancora in mano ai pheleset, le
cui cinque città principali erano
Gaza,
Ashdod,
Ekron,
Gath, e
Ashkelon. "Filistea" (ebraico פלשת Pəléšeth, P(e)léshet) è l'originale di "Palestina", e deriva dal popolo dei Filistei, di cui gli Egiziani antichi danno per primi notizia come P-r/l-s-t (convenzionalmente Peleset), uno dei Popoli del mare che invasero l'Egitto durante il regno di Ramses III. Costoro vennero sottomessi da re David e riguadagnarono l'indipendenza ai tempi di Amos, mentre non vengono più nominati dai tempi delle invasioni assire. Dopo le guerre giudaiche, i Romani, nel II secolo d.C., cambiarono il nome da "Judaea" a "Syria Palaestina".
Storia [modifica]
Il suo status giuridico e politico è oggi fortemente controverso. "Palestina" è stato anche il nome di un Mandato affidato dalla Società delle Nazioni alla Gran Bretagna al termine della Prima guerra mondiale e che occupava pressappoco il territorio degli odierni Stati di Israele e Giordania. L'Autorità Nazionale Palestinese, la cui presidenza è stata tenuta fino alla sua morte da Yasser Arafat, ora è favorevole alla nascita di uno Stato indipendente a fianco dello Stato di Israele, che oggi occupa buona parte del territorio della regione storica della Palestina e circa metà di quello occupato dal Mandato britannico. Un tale "Stato palestinese", sempre sotto il nome di "Palestina", dovrebbe accogliere i numerosissimi profughi palestinesi causati dai vari conflitti arabo-israeliani. I confini che dovrebbe avere questo Stato nascituro non sono ben definiti: l'opinione comune è che Israele dovrebbe tornare all'interno dei suoi confini precedenti la Guerra dei sei giorni del 1967 in cambio di un suo riconoscimento che ne garantisca la sicurezza (la cosiddetta Linea Verde), mentre assai distanti sono i punti di vista riguardanti Gerusalemme Est. Un ostacolo che si è dimostrato finora insormontabile è tuttavia costituito dal fatto che lo Stato di Israele ad oggi occupa gran parte della Cisgiordania - messa sotto il proprio controllo dalla Legione Araba giordana nel 1948 - e la Striscia di Gaza, occupata nello stesso conflitto dall'esercito egiziano. Il 14 agosto 2005 il governo israeliano ha disposto e completato l'evacuazione della popolazione israeliana dalla Striscia di Gaza e lo smantellamento delle colonie che vi erano state costruite.
Note [modifica]Gli arabi palestinesi considerano come loro capitale al-Quds (lett. "la Santa", cioè Gerusalemme). Ciò nondimeno, la perdurante situazione di precarietà e di conflitto con lo Stato d'Israele, unitamente alla sostanziale assenza di un vero e proprio Stato palestinese, ha fatto della città di Ramallah la capitale virtuale, o tacitamente provvisoria, dell'amministrazione palestinese.
