List of diplomatic missions in Palestine
This is a list of diplomatic missions in Palestine, covering missions accredited to the Palestinian National Authority (PNA) and/or the State of Palestine, depending on what level of recognition the sending state has accorded. As Israel controls most of the territory claimed by the PNA as constituting the State of Palestine, most missions to the latter are officially termed Representative Offices due to Israel not recognizing a Palestinian state, although a wide variety of nomenclature is employed.
Some of the countries that have diplomatic relations with Israel accredit their missions in Tel Aviv or Jerusalem to the Palestinian Territories, while those that have missions in the West Bank or Gaza do not perform consular functions and those are handled by their embassies in Israel.
This listing only includes missions accredited directly to Palestine/the PNA or resident in the Palestinian Territories.
Most diplomatic missions to Palestine/the PNA are resident in Ramallah, although a few countries also maintain offices in Gaza. 38 countries and the European Union at present have missions in the Palestinian Territories.
Representative Offices/Missions
Resident in Ramallah unless otherwise noted
Accredited embassies
Consulates General in Jerusalem
The countries which operate these consulates do not regard them as diplomatic missions to Israel or Palestine, but as diplomatic missions to Jerusalem. The heads of these missions do not submit letters of credence to the Israeli president, PLO Chairman, PNA president, nor to any other head of state.
Some of the countries with consulates-general in Jerusalem include the contacts with the Palestinian National Authority and Palestine Liberation Organization in the consulate-general responsibilities. All of the countries with consulates-general in Jerusalem have separate embassies in Tel Aviv that are accredited to Israel.
