The Palestinian government was in the process of creating an IMS method that fits their needs in 2017. According to information found in research, the IMS method they will eventually use will be similar to that of the ICS method used by the United States. While it will be similar to the ICS method used in the United States, some adjustments will be made to make it more relevant to Palestine and more effective for the style of government that this nation operates with. In a 2017 United Nations report, it stated

All field actors need to be trained towards a Palestinian ICS, that has yet to be developed. Specific procedures need to be developed for how the Incident Commander will provide information up the chain to report on the situation on the ground and on how to request for assistance. During a major disaster, such as a significant earthquake, it is likely that resources will be scarce, and those dispatching resources to different areas will have to prioritize, based on the information coming from the ground. Any requests for international assistance will be based on information from the field and their ability to handle the situation.

Interestingly enough, it appears as if the use of the ICS method was introduced into the Palestinian Prison System in September of 2013 (United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime [UNODC], 2013). What makes this noteworthy is first responders (e.g. fire, Emergency Medical Services [EMS], law enforcement) are just now beginning to develop an IMS or ICS method, but the prison system has been utilizing an ICS method for over five years. While extensive research was done, there was no mention of a Hospital Incident Command System (HICS) method being in place in Palestine.
