The State of Palestine accepted the UNESCO convention on 8 December 2011, making its cultural and natural heritage sites eligible for inclusion on the list. As of 2024, there are five World Heritage Sites in Palestine, four in the West Bank and one in the Gaza Strip. Three sites are on UNESCO's List of World Heritage in Danger; the site "Birthplace of Jesus: Church of the Nativity and the Pilgrimage Route, Bethlehem" was once in it from 2012 to 2019. In addition, the government of Palestine has put 13 sites on its tentative list.
