The Yasser Arafat Foundation has published the scientific volume of the Yasser Arafat Award for Research and Studies 2025 as part of its publication series documenting the Foundation’s activities, programs, and various events.

The publication of this volume reflects the Foundation’s mission and its national and cultural objectives. It comes within the framework of the Yasser Arafat Prize for Research and Studies in its inaugural year (2025), with the aim of introducing the award-winning scientific research to scholars and interested readers, making it accessible to the wider research community, and encouraging scientific inquiry and knowledge production. These efforts contribute to strengthening Palestinian national identity, preserving collective memory, and safeguarding the Palestinian national narrative.

The volume includes ten peer-reviewed research papers and scientific studies that were evaluated by a specialized judging committee. The studies address a range of topics related to the Palestinian cause, its history, and its contemporary realities. The publication also serves as an important academic reference and opens new avenues for researchers to explore innovative research themes and diverse issues that merit further study and investigation.

Through this publication, the Foundation reaffirms its commitment to supporting scientific research, promoting rigorous knowledge production, and enhancing the presence of Palestinian studies within academic and cultural circles.
