An early pilot · A community project
QADIYA is an independent, noncommercial community project: an archive of Palestine’s history, built for the cause and open to everyone.
This is an early pilot. Its records were gathered with AI help from cited sources and are still being checked, so don’t rely on them yet, and tell us if something is wrong.
We’re looking for people and organisations to build it with us: historians, archivists, translators, designers, developers, and partners who can support the work.

Link to this citationIsrael and the Quartet, the United States, the European Union, Russia and the United Nations, refused to deal with the Hamas government until it recognised Israel, accepted the agreements the PLO had signed and renounced violence, and donors channelled funds around it. Clashes between Hamas and Fatah alternated with unity talks until, in June 2007, all-out fighting left two separate Palestinian governments, in Gaza and in the West Bank.
