Shared identity
The digital foundation of the Palestinian people.
Hawiya is the shared digital identity system of the Digital Palestine ecosystem. It provides a secure and unified way for Palestinians to access digital services and for organizations to manage identity across platforms.
Instead of every institution or platform building and maintaining its own user registration, authentication, and identity systems, Hawiya offers a common identity infrastructure that can be used across the ecosystem.
هويّةHAWIYAToday, most Palestinian platforms manage user accounts and authentication independently. This often results in:
Hawiya provides a shared alternative that simplifies access, reduces complexity, and helps create stronger connections between participating services and organizations.
Our vision is a trusted, sovereign digital identity that every Palestinian can hold — wherever they are — connecting people, institutions, and communities within one shared framework of trust and belonging.
One identity. One people.
Hawiya is the digital identity layer of the Digital Palestine ecosystem — a shared foundation for a more connected Palestinian digital future.
Identity systems are only as strong as the trust people place in them. Hawiya is designed with security, privacy, transparency, and accountability as core principles from the beginning.
Hawiya is being built to follow modern security practices and industry standards.
Protecting users and institutions is a foundational requirement, not an afterthought.
Hawiya is designed to collect and process only the information necessary to provide identity services. Our goal is to minimize unnecessary data collection while giving users greater control over their digital identity. Privacy considerations are incorporated into the system architecture from the start.
Security is not achieved through technology alone. It requires ongoing cooperation between developers, institutions, partners, and the broader community. Hawiya is intended to evolve through continuous review, testing, and improvement.
Hawiya is part of the broader Digital Palestine ecosystem. Its development and evolution are intended to take place within governance structures that prioritize transparency, accountability, and long-term stewardship. As the ecosystem grows, governance mechanisms will continue to mature to reflect the needs of participating communities, institutions, and stakeholders.
Hawiya is not a finished system. It is a long-term infrastructure project that will continue to evolve as technology advances and new needs emerge.
Hawiya is guided by core principles that work together to protect users, empower institutions, and strengthen the Palestinian digital future.

digital Palestine identity
We believe that trust must be earned.
Through responsible governance, strong security practices, and continuous improvement, Hawiya aims to provide a reliable digital identity foundation for Palestinians everywhere.
Hawiya is part of a broader effort to build the digital foundations needed for a connected Palestinian future.
Our goal is to create a shared identity infrastructure that can support generations of Palestinian digital services, institutions, and communities.
Identity is one of the foundational layers of any digital ecosystem. A common identity layer connects people, services, and institutions and eliminates fragmentation and duplication.
Building trusted digital infrastructure takes time. Hawiya is developed through a phased approach that allows the system to grow responsibly and sustainably.

Laying the groundwork for a shared digital identity for all.
The Future
A connected, inclusive, and resilient Digital Palestine.
The future of Hawiya will be shaped by the needs of the communities, institutions, and services it supports.
As the Digital Palestine ecosystem grows, Hawiya will continue to evolve alongside it.
One Identity. Multiple Services.
Hawiya allows users to access participating Palestinian digital services through a single identity.
Instead of creating separate accounts for every platform, users can use their Hawiya account wherever it is supported.
As the ecosystem grows, a single Hawiya identity can be used across an expanding network of Palestinian digital services.
Hawiya enables institutions and initiatives to integrate a trusted identity system without building one from scratch.
Hawiya provides a shared authentication layer that can be integrated into websites, applications, and digital platforms.
Participating platforms can offer users a simple and familiar way to sign in.
