1 On June 14, 2007, President Mahmoud Abbas dismissed Haniyeh's government and appointed Fayyad to form an emergency government. However, Haniyeh and Hamas maintain that these actions were illegal and that Haniyeh is still the Prime Minister. Haniyeh still exercises de facto authority in the Gaza Strip, while Fayyad's authority is limited de facto to the West Bank.

The Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics (PCBS) (Arabic: الجهاز المركزي للإحصاء الفلسطيني‎) is the statistical organization under the umbrella of the Palestinian Cabinet of the Palestinian National Authority. It carried out its first full census of the West Bank and Gaza Strip in 1997.

As well as providing statistics on the retail price index and other things one might expect in any country, the PCBS also provides statistics tailored to the particular issues faced by Palestinians in the West Bank And Gaza Strip, such as their 2003 "Survey on the Impact of separation Wall on the Location Where it Passed Through".
