Politics and Government

Palestine is a region with diverse geography, ranging from coastal plains along the Mediterranean Sea to rolling hills, fertile valleys, and desert landscapes. The West Bank, Gaza Strip, and historical areas like Jerusalem are marked by varied topography that influences both climate and biodiversity.

The Mediterranean climate in the west transitions to a more arid desert climate in the east and south. Palestine’s environment faces significant challenges due to urban expansion, agricultural demands, and political conflicts that impact land use and access to natural resources, such as water. Despite these challenges, the region remains rich in cultural and ecological significance.
