Counties of Palestine

The Republic of Palestine consists of 39 counties (Arabic: مقاطعات muqāṭa‘āt, sg. مقاطعة muqāṭa‘ah), which function as the first-level administrative division in the country's unitary system. Counties consist of several municipalities, which each have considerable devolved authority from the national government, while the counties themselves mostly exist for administrative purposes and to coordinate public services between municipal governments; the exceptions are Port Said and Jerusalem, which consolidate the level of county and municipality into a single government entity. Counties themselves can be grouped into one of five administrative regions, which are even less formalised than counties and simply exist for the organisational convenience of government and public services.
