I don't know if this is the right place for comments, but I want to note that under the articvle 'List of Cities in Palestine' there are references to a 'State of Palestine'. This is technically and legally incorrect. There has never been nor is there today a 'State of Palestine'. There are aspirations for such a state and some ciuntries and bodies 'recognize' it, but this has no foundation under international law. The nearest thing is the Palestinian Authority, which technically has jurisdiction over Gaza and the West Bank, but has no authority in Gaza and operates under broad Israeli control in the West Bank, where it administers two main areas. It is a mistake to use Wikipedia to perpetuate a fiction.
