The idea of building a university for higher education that the Palestinian population needs started in 1975. The occupation and the economical situation of the people of Palestine prompted the PLO to ask UNESCO to prepare a feasibility study for the project, The 1980 UNESCO conference approved the plan and the Palestinian National council approved it in 1981; but actual work was delayed until 1985 because of hard conditions.
