The following is a list of cities administered by the Palestinian National Authority. After the 1995 Interim Agreements, the PNA took control of civil affairs in both designated Areas, A and B, where most Palestinian population centers are located (except those within the municipal borders of East Jerusalem). Israeli Defense Forces are responsible for security in Area B.
Following the 2007 rift between the main two Palestinian factions Fatah and Hamas, the PNA has been split with the former dominating the Palestinian government in the West Bank and the latter controlling the Gaza Strip. The Israeli Defense Forces are responsible for security in Area B in the West Bank and have full control over localities in Area C.
