The Palestinian territories are composed of two discontiguous regions, the '''West Bank''' and the '''Gaza Strip'''.
Among the Palestinians, hitchhiking is not common at all - yet that does not mean it's difficult to get rides. For short distances especially, you are likely to encounter their hospitality and get a ride quite quickly. Notice that while they will wait in Israeli checkpoints, you will most likely have to wait with them.

The border crossing procedure can be time consuming. [[User:Guaka|guaka]] ended up in the West Bank when it was already dark. You're not allowed to walk away from the border crossing (which is also a military base) so you are left to the taxi leeches. They try to charge 30 shekels for a very short ride. There is also a shared taxi service to Jerusalem for the same price.
