In the part about years 1947-1948 and the partition plan, this article fails to mention that the partition plan was agreed by the Israeli side, and declined by the arab side. It also states that a civil war had started, without mentioning that 6 Arab countries joined the attack on 1948 (started as a civil war, and became a war between countries). ] (]) 07:34, 29 November 2024 (UTC) |

The result of the move request was: '''Moved'''. This is part of a contentious topic, so in general we want to tread carefully, but after one week the consensus seems clear enough already - 9 in favour and only 2 against, plus this result effectively fits with the result of the previous RM, which already concluded that Palestine should be a primary redirect. So I think it's fairly clear where the community consensus lies. — ] (]) 20:04, 7 January 2025 (UTC) |

The newly-edited page shows that 99% of people in the State of Palestine are Muslims, and less than one percent are Christians. However, there is no credible source provided for this claim, and there exists Samaritans and Druze in the State of Palestine, both of whom are not listed on the page. Furthermore, in the demographics section, it is stated that 99% of Palestinians are Muslim, but no credible source is provided. In reality, Professor Bernard Sabella of Bethlehem University estimated in 2000 that 6.5% of all Palestinians are Christians. |

It is also claimed that Islam is the official religion of the State of Palestine, but the Constitution of the State of Palestine does not explicitly state this. Rather, the Palestinian Constitution states that Islam is the official Palestinian religion, and that Christianity, as well as other monotheistic religions, shall be equally respected. |

Under the ethnic groups category, "Palestinian Arabs" is listed as the only ethnic group. However, there are many ethnic groups, including Armenians and Syriac Palestinians. I think that having this category is not useful. However, if it is going to be on the page, it should include more of the ethnicities in Palestine. SirCapybara (talk) 16:45, 10 December 2024 (UTC)
Current: ". . . proposed a _partition plan_, for two independent Arab and Jewish states and an independent entity for Jerusalem, but. . . ."
Suggested revision: ". . . in 1947 proposed that Palestine be partitioned (divided) into two independent states, one Arab and the other Jewish. The _partition plan_ specified that Jerusalem become an independent international city. But. . . ."
