High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles The Palestinian people, (Arabic: الشعب الفلسطيني, ash-sha'b al-Filasṭīnī) also referred to as Palestinians (Arabic: الفلسطينيون, al-Filasṭīniyyūn) or Palestinian Arabs (Arabic: العرب الفلسطينيون, al-'Arab al-Filasṭīniyyūn), are an Arabic-speaking people with origins in Palestine. Despite various wars and exoduses, roughly one third of the world's Palestinian population continues to reside in the area encompassing the West Bank, the Gaza Strip, and Israel proper. In this combined area, as of 2004, Palestinians constituted 49% of all inhabitants, or the entire 1.6 million population of the Gaza Strip, an approximate 2.3 million majority of the Israeli-occupied West Bank population (versus over 300,000 Israeli settlers, or close to 500,000 if including approximately 200,000 Jewish Israeli citizens in East Jerusalem), and over 20% of the population of Israel proper, mostly as Arab citizens of Israel.
