Ramadan 1448
Ramadan 2027 in Palestine
The expected start date, who decides it, and first-day suhoor and iftar times across 2 cities.
How Palestine decides
Palestine's religious authority looks for the physical new moon each month rather than relying on a fixed calculation.
Religious authorities in Gaza and the West Bank announced the same start date in both 2025 and 2026, aligning with Gulf states rather than Egypt, Jordan and Syria. A specific authority name was not found in available sources.
