The following tables list the postal charges in force in Palestine between 2000 and 2004. The current rates are listed separately.
Most information is based on the Ministry of Post & Telecomunications decree no. 257, dated 23.02.2000. Additional data has been supplied by the Philatelic Office in Gaza to Thomas Schubert in May 2005. The rates recorded prior to February 2000 are listed separately.
For foreign destinations, this tariff lists always two charges: one via Israel, the other direct. It should be noted that Israel does not allow direct mail transfers and as far as I'm aware all mail (including the inland mail travelling between Westbank and Gaza) is forced to go through Israel where it is subjected to censorship and delays.
The aforementioned decree does not make any distinction in ways of weight, though I suspect that the term ordinary letter refers only upto 20g. The information from the Philatelic Office does list weight bands, but only for international mail services.
Note that the Palestinian currency 1 Dinar = 1000 Fils is a virtual currency only: notes and coins used in Palestine are Israeli Shekel (NIS) with 1 NIS = 100 Agorot. The official conversion rate in 2004 is as follows: 1 Dinar (1000 Fils) = 6 NIS. The rate against international currencies varies from day to day of course, roughly 5 NIS equal 1 €.
work in progress!
