Description
The Palestinian security sector has played a crucial role for 30 years, yet little is known in the public do¬main about its operations, relations, and function¬ing, or the roles of external actors and the complex¬ity of their involvement.
This bulletin seeks to fill this knowledge gap and pro¬vide a comprehensive overview of the origins and evolution as well as current structure and roles of the PASF. It looks at the facts and figures behind the sometimes-stereotypical images of the PA’s security sector and examines its environment, including public perceptions of its performance and involvement of international players, as well as the criticism directed at it and the challenges it faces.
