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.

الانتخابات التشريعية الفلسطينية 2006
On 25 January 2006 Palestinians in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip elected their Legislative Council, and Hamas’s Change and Reform list won 74 of its 132 seats. Israel and the Quartet refused to deal with the government Hamas formed, and the rift that followed divided Gaza from the West Bank.
مؤتمر مدريد للسلام
On 30 October 1991 a peace conference opened in Madrid under American and Soviet sponsorship. Palestinians took part within a joint Jordanian-Palestinian delegation, their side headed by Haydar Abd al-Shafi; talks followed on a Palestinian-Israeli and a Jordanian-Israeli track.
