RAMALLAH, January 8, 2013 (WAFA) – The Ministry of Information said Tuesday
that it will include the term “State of Palestine” on all its official
papers, including press cards and licenses, as requested in the presidential
decree on this regard.

President Mahmoud Abbas issued a decree on Sunday giving instructions to the
government to start using the term “State of Palestine” instead of the term
“Palestinian National Authority” on all official documents including
passports, identity cards, population registration, driving licenses and
other documents.

The Ministry called on all Palestinian media outlets to start using the new
term in all their programs.
