The Washington Institute Handbook of Palestinian Legislative Council Members
This Handbook is intended as a reference for analysis of the members of the Palestinian Legislative Council (PLC), particularly with regard to tracking their positions on issues relevant to the Israeli-Palestinian relationship. Its contents were derived from open sources and are therefore reliant upon the accuracy of these sources. This notwithstanding, every attempt has been made to verify each entry via secondary sources and thus ensure all data within are as true, accurate, and unbiased as possible. However, The Washington Institute cannot guarantee that in all instances these criteria are met. For this reason, The Institute requests to be notified of any errors or clarifications that would improve the quality of the contents of this Handbook.
Currently, only biographical data and quotations are included in the Handbook. No attempt has been made to draw conclusions regarding the specific political orientation of each delegate. However, the quotations accompanying each entry are suggestive in this regard. The data will be updated periodically as more information becomes available.

Start-Up Nation addresses the trillion-dollar question: How is it that Israel—a country of 7.1 million, only sixty years old, surrounded by enemies— produces more start-up companies than large, peaceful, and stable nations like Japan, China, India, Korea, Canada, and the UK? With the insights of geopolitical experts and investors, the authors examine this nation’s adversity-driven culture to answer this question and offer prescriptions for a global economy on the rebound.
In Forces of Fortune, Vali Nasr presents a paradigm-changing revelation that will transform the understanding of the Muslim world at large. He reveals that there is a vital but unseen rising force in the Islamic world—a new business-minded middle class—that is building a vibrant new Muslim world economy and that holds the key to winning the cold war against Iran and extremists.
In Cuba: What Everyone Needs to Know, Julia E. Sweig presents a remarkably accessible portrait of Cuba's unique place on the world stage over the past fifty years, including its internal politics, its often fraught relationship with the United States, and its shifting relationship with the global community.
