It is unclear what is meant by this since Historic Palestine is a regional term, not a political one. With the exception of the recent Palestinian government that declared independence in 1988, Palestine has always been the territory of a Jewish-ruled State or a foreign state. Under the Ottomans, it was divided in three parcels and ruled from Beirut (northern areas and Lebanon), Jerusalem (central areas), and Damascus (southern areas, Jordan, and Syria). Under the British, the colonial administration was in Jerusalem, but reported back to London. From 1949-1959 there was a puppet Palestinian government in Gaza City that was supported by the Egyptians (until the Egyptians decided to quash it and rule the territory of the Gaza Strip directly).
