What is .فلسطين?
IANA delegated .فلسطين on August 20, 2010, as part of the effort to let people use domain names entirely in their own script.
A little context on Palestine: the capital is Ramallah, the main language is Arabic, the currency is the Egyptian pound (EGP) and the international dialing code is +970.
Next door on the map, you'll find .il for Israel, .eg for Egypt and .jo for Jordan.
IANA lists Ministry of Telecom & Information Technology (MTIT) as the manager of .فلسطين, with an address in State of Palestine. The registry's website is http://www.pnina.ps. ccTLD managers set their own policies — who can register, which second-level names exist, pricing to registrars — so those rules differ from country to country.
Under the hood, the root zone points to 7 name servers for .فلسطين, 3 of them reachable over IPv6. There is no DS record for .فلسطين in the root zone, which means the TLD is not DNSSEC-signed at the top level. Registration data is published over WHOIS (the WHOIS server is whois.pnina.ps).
Palestine also has another country-code domain in the root zone: .ps.
