Notes

  1. The Palestinian Authority renamed itself the State of Palestine on 6 January 2013 (a move not recognized by Israel). Do not confuse with the "State of Palestine" proclaimed on 15 November 1988 by the Palestinian National Council (PNC) in Algiers which remains a putative state, de facto ineffective despite partial international recognition.
  2. Government in exile in opposition to the emir's government, which itself is unrecognized.
  3. as Head of Political Department of Executive Committee of PLO.
  4. Acting to 30 August 2016.
  5. Government in exile.
