Created under the Oslo Accords, the Palestinian Authority (PA)—or Palestinian National Authority—is responsible for administering Palestinian enclaves in the West Bank. The geographic limits of the PA’s authority in the West Bank is defined by so-called Areas A, B and C, also defined during the Oslo era. The PA operates in coordination with Israel, where Israel maintains control over all significant spheres such as borders, airspace, natural resources and the population registry,[1] and has the effective power to veto PA legislation.[2]
