Country calling code Country Code 970 or 972 For the Palestinianterritories there is a reserved Country calling code Country Code 970 This code is mainly used when calling from Arab countries to places under the jurisdiction of the Palestinian Authority including the Gaza Strip . The telecommunication system in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip is considerably dependent on the Israeli infrastructure, therefore, from most countries, dialing 972 would often be the better option to access phone numbers in the Palestinianterritories. In some cases, when the number was allocated directly by an Israeli company, this would be the only option. However, from many Arab or Muslim countries that block the Israeli access code, dialing 970 is the only option to access the Palestinian telecommunication system. Syria is currently the only country that blocks both 972 and 970 access codes. Lebanon lifted the ban on the 970 code in July 2008 but still blocks the 972 code. ref http menassat.com ?q en news articles 4331 operator please dear get me palestine and hurry please Operator?
