The study addresses the political participation among Palestinians. Political participation was evaluated using an index of a 30-item scale based on the Political Participation Scale (PPS), which was originally developed in 1982, and was administrated to six hundred Palestinians in the West Bank, Palestine, during 2022. The sample population was selected via the stratified random selection method. Study findings revealed that more than half of the participants (56.6%) experienced a moderate level of political participation in the Palestinian occupied society. The study also indicated that being male, party affiliated, well-educated, youth, with religious commitment were all risk factors for experiencing a significantly higher level of political participation under the on-going Israeli occupation.
