History

Palestine first organized a national baseball team around 2017, starting with a small number of players from the Gaza Strip. The team then recruited several Palestinian American players, which eventually grew to make up a larger part of the team after the Gaza war cut off access to many homegrown players starting in 2023. At least two players of the national team have been killed in the war : outfielder and team captain Ashraf Awad Murad, killed near Al-Shifa Hospital in March 2024, and infielder/outfielder Mustafa Ahmad Tafesh, killed in August 2025.

As part of preparation for the 2025 Asian Baseball Championship, Palestine competed in an exhibition series against Pakistan at Ozinga Field in Crestwood, Illinois.
