The following is thelist of cities in Palestine. After the1995 Interim Agreements, thePalestinian National Authority, which was renamed to theState of Palestine in 2013, took control of civil affairs in the West BankPalestinian enclaves, designatedAreas A and B, where mostPalestinian population centers are located (and excluding those within the municipal borders ofEast Jerusalem).Israel Defense Forces are responsible for security in Area B in theWest Bank and have full control over localities inArea C.

Following the2007 rift between the main two Palestinian factionsFatah andHamas, thePalestinian Authority (PA) has been split, with the former dominating the Palestinian government in the West Bank and the latter controlling theGaza Strip.

The Local Government Ministry of thePalestinian National Authority is responsible for granting a town with city or municipality status. However, there is no specific guidelines for a particular locality to achieve the status of Palestinian city. It is mostly judged on the population reaching above 20,000. ThePalestinian Central Bureau of Statistics (PCBS) took its latest official census in 2007.^[1]

The largest city in theGaza Strip and all ofPalestine wasGaza City prior to theGaza war, and the largest cities in theWest Bank areEast Jerusalem andHebron. Some cities form agglomerations with other towns or cities, such as theBethlehem metropolitan area withBeit Jala andBeit Sahour.Ramallah andal-Bireh also form an agglomeration and are often considered a single city.^{[citation needed]}
