List of World Heritage Sites in Palestine

The United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO) World Heritage Sites are places of importance to cultural or natural heritage nominated by signatory countries to the World Heritage Convention of 1972. Cultural heritage comprises monuments, groups of buildings, and sites. Natural heritage comprises natural features, geological and physiographical formations, and natural sites which are important for scientific research, conservation or natural aesthetic. Palestine accepted the convention on 8 December 2011, making its cultural and natural heritage sites eligible for inclusion on the list. There are five World Heritage Sites in the country: four in the West Bank and one in the Gaza Strip. In addition, the government of Palestine has placed 12 sites on its tentative list, meaning they intend to nominate them sometime in the future.

World Heritage Sites
UNESCO lists sites under ten criteria; each entry must meet at least one of the criteria. Criteria i through vi are cultural, and vii through x are natural. Four sites are in the West Bank and one in the Gaza Strip. World Heritage Sites in East Jerusalem Although it is listed without a specific state attributed, UNESCO acknowledges the area as "part of the occupied Palestinian territory," which is why it is included here. UNESCO also states that "the status of Jerusalem must be resolved in permanent status negotiations." ==Tentative list==
Tentative list
In addition to sites inscribed on the World Heritage List, member states can maintain a list of tentative sites for nomination consideration. Nominations for the list are only accepted if the site had been on the tentative list. Palestine has 12 properties on its tentative list. ==See also==
