La Question de Palestine (lit. 'The Question of Palestine') is a series of five history books about Palestine, written by the French scholar Henry Laurens and published by Fayard from 1999 to 2015.
The books are organised chronologically and cover Palestinian history from 1799 to 2001. Laurens breaks down Palestinian and broader Middle Eastern history into time periods that can span months, weeks or days, analyzing them as brief eras with distinct themes.[1][2][3][4][5]
The title is derived from a terminology that has been used since 1815, and more specifically refers to a speech by David Ben-Gurion, Israel's first prime minister, who said that the greatest achievement of Zionism was that it replaced the Jewish question with "the question of Palestine".[1]
