Picture in the "Art, Music, and Clothing" Section
Under the 'Art, music, and clothing' Section there is a picture of 'Palestinian children in their traditional dress'. The picture itself was taken in London (on Oct. 9th 2023), and it is not clear this has anything to do with 'traditional Palestinian clothing'. The picture does contain a political message which is irrelevant to the information discussed in the section, and in addition contains a short manifesto in text when opened "There are more than two million people living there, and this brutal form of collective punishment is clearly a war crime which threatens the lives of all of them...". I suggest deleting this picture or finding a more suitable image which is relevant to the information discussed.— Preceding

Requested move 1 June 2024
The following is a closed discussion of a
requested move. Please do not modify it. Subsequent comments should be made in a new section on the talk page. Editors desiring to contest the closing decision should consider a
move review after discussing it on the closer's talk page. No further edits should be made to this discussion.
Agree. State of Palestine according to pageviews.wmcloud.com is visited way more than the region and all the other things in the disambig page combined.

Closure requests shouldn't be directed at a particular user, but other editors can take your comment as a "• Speedy close per SilverLocust". Personally, I wait for some comments before closing a repeat request as
WP:SNOW, and I generally don't close an RM after making even a neutral comment.

Comma splice
Im new so i might be making a mistake (sorry if i do)
"Currently, the biggest challenges to the country include the Israeli occupation, partial blockade, restrictions on movement, Israeli settlements and settler violence, as well as an overall poor security situation."
In this sentence I think there is a comma splice. "and settler violence, as well as an overall poor security situation." Here you say "and" but also put a comma before "as well" as shown "settler violence, as well". I suggest to edit it and make it either a semi-colon or make it a new sentence. Just noticed it and thought I'd let yall know.
Not done Much appreciated, but as well as an overall poor security situation isn't an independent clause, so this isn't a comma splice.

"the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, collectively known as the Palestinian territories — within the larger region of Palestine"
this is a technical and geographical inaccuracy. the 2 palestinian states (governed by different governments) are within the region of Israel. Regardless of the political opinion, this is geographically inaccurate and may be misleading.

Unsubstantiated/potentially inaccurate sentence in main summary section
The final paragraph in the introduction summary section contains a sentence which reads: "Despite these challenges, the country remains one of the most highly-educated countries in the Arab world." I am unsure by what metric this is measured, as the Wikipedia article on
education in the Arab world places Palestine around the middle of the pack as well as low internationally.
Education in the Arab World is poorly sourced, and the table presented there is completely unsourced (we aren't even told what parameter the ranking refers too). That said, I agree that the claim here is also unsourced and a knowledgeable editor should look into it. —

Treating your comment as an edit request to remove the relevant material on the basis that is is unsourced, I have done so. It's not in the education section or elsewhere in the article body that I can see.

I'm glad action was taken, however now I have a different concern about the same section. There are two back-to-back sentences in the exact same place that contain grammatical errors.
"Unsolved remain the question of Palestine's borders..." – should be "remains" instead of "remain"
"Despite these challenges, the country, maintains an emerging economy, and sees frequent tourism." – need to remove extraneous commas. Should be corrected to "Despite these challenges, the country maintains an emerging economy and sees frequent tourism."

This revert edit wars in the term "Proclaimed capital" in the infobox. The infoboxes for Israel and Palestine in this respect should be identical (as are their leads) as neither claim is recognized and whether Israel occupies Jerusalem has absolutely nothing whatever to do with it.

In the "Capital" section of the Infobox, instead of saying "Jerusalem" say "East Jerusalem" as the Palestinian Liberation Organisation claims only East Jerusalem as its capital not the whole of Jerusalem.
