Travel insurance for Palestine
Not required. No official source we have checked requires travel insurance to visit Palestine, and none publishes a minimum coverage amount for visitors.
Some visa services claim insurance is mandatory for Palestine and charge you for a policy. We found no official rule behind those claims, so we will not present it as one. Insurance may still be a sensible choice for your trip, but for Palestine it is your choice, not an entry rule. We watch for new mandates daily, and this page will say so if one appears.
