Note: “The data for Israel is incomplete because there is little information on the Palestinian territories. If information were available on the territories, it would be included for Israel and weighted by population for a more complete picture of Israel. This is especially important for indices on the economy, human and political rights, and legal and governance, which together constitute 85% of the overall index. We have very little data on the territories, on only 5 of the 24 components of the indices, and even for these it is limited data. We have added these but they make limited difference. We hope that with the passage of time, the needed data will become available.”
