The Palestinian Strategic Report 2009/2010 is the fifth in a series of comprehensive annual studies of the Palestinian issue published by the Al-Zaytouna Centre for Studies and Consultations and now distributed by Pluto Press. The book covers the internal politics of Palestine, Israeli politics and policy, and Israeli-Palestinian relations. Also covered are the Arab, Muslim and international stances toward the Palestinian issue. Along with economic and demographic indicators, the report has a special focus on Jerusalem and the holy sites. The 14 distinguished contributors not only survey the situation but also analyse events in the region, identifying trends and predicting likely future developments. The Palestinian Strategic Report is an essential reference book for scholars, NGOs and activists working on or in the Middle East.
