Given that Palestine does not have clear borders, it is impossible to say how large Palestine is. The current area under direct control of Hamas and the Palestinian Authority is minimal relative to the historic British Mandate of Palestine.

The area of the former British Mandate of Palestine is approximately 10,900 square miles. The area of the State of Palestine (all of the West Bank and all of the Gaza Strip) is 2,400 square miles. The area of the Gaza Strip (which is under full Hamas control) is 139 square miles. The area of the West Bank is 2,261 square miles (including East Jerusalem). However, the Palestinian Authority has only partial control of the West Bank. The West Bank is split into zones, where Zone A is under full Palestinian municipal control, Zone B is hybridized control between Israel and Palestine, and Zone C is purely under Israeli control. The amount of territory in each zone is A: 68 square miles (but consists of the majority of the Palestinian population), B: 543 square miles, and C: 1650 square miles.
