Electricity and sockets
You will need an adapter for Types C and H. Plugs from the UK do not fit the sockets in Palestine.
Sockets at the destination
Palestine runs on 230 V at 50 Hz, with sockets following Types C and H. At 230 V the supply matches what UK and European appliances expect, so no converter is needed.
Handy for multi-stop trips: Israel use the same plug types. Travelling further to Oman, Sri Lanka and Singapore means a different adapter. 2 of the 50 destinations in Asia share the plug types of Palestine.
Protective earth
Earthed sockets (Type H) and unearthed ones (Type C) exist side by side. For metal-bodied appliances the protective-earth path is what matters.
