A focused population profile of Palestinian Arab Muslims, their southern Levantine background, closest modern genetic matches, ancestry model, and World Genetics G25 heatmap.
Palestinian Arab Muslims are part of the Palestinian Arab people of the southern Levant, especially the West Bank, Gaza, Jerusalem, Israel/Palestine, Jordan, and diaspora communities across the Middle East and beyond.
Palestinian Arabic belongs to the Levantine Arabic dialect continuum, while Modern Standard Arabic is used in formal writing, education, religion, and media. Local speech can vary between urban, rural, Bedouin, Galilean, Jerusalem, West Bank, and Gaza varieties.
A Palestinian Arab Muslim genetic reference should be read in a southern Levantine context. It is useful for comparing Palestinian Muslim, Palestinian Christian, Jordanian, Lebanese, Syrian, and nearby Arab Levantine references.
In the World Genetics modern G25 comparison, Palestinian Arab Muslim is closest to Jordanian Arab Muslim, Iraqi Arab Nineveh with a Levantine profile, Palestinian Arab Muslim Gaza, Lebanese Arab Muslim Sunni Beirut, Syrian Arab Damascus, and Syrian Arab Daraa. This places the reference in a southern Levantine Arab cluster.
