To better understand the situation of youth in the MENA region, the FES conducted a large representative survey among young people in eight countries in 2016. This study presents selected results of the survey in Palestine. Palestinian youth trust mainly non-political institutions such as family, education, and health systems. Their trust in political institutions such as parliament, militias and parties are lowest. Young Palestinians are increasingly religious, regardless of demographic factors. However, this change does not imply a shift towards political Islam. Two-thirds of respondents say religion is a private matter.
