By class of business
Each company is counted once, under the class its register row records. The supervisor’s own tally counts licences, so a company licensed for more than one class appears more than once there.

Verification log
Partially verified - Palestine (PCMA 2026 register) and Syria (SISC company directory) retrieved in full; Yemen not covered, no Yemeni register is published · Palestine: Palestine Capital Market Authority, 'Insurance companies operating in Palestine for the year 2026', PDF from the PCMA insurance-sector page, retrieved 23 Sep 2026: 12 licensed companies (licence numbers 2-14; 1 and 6 not in use) plus one company in run-off shown with an asterisk. Syria: Insurance Supervisory Commission, the 'Syrian insurance companies' directory and the 13 individual company pages, each giving the licence number and date, retrieved 23 Sep 2026: 13 companies. Yemen: nothing official retrieved.
Two of the three jurisdictions were reconciled against their own supervisors. Palestine: the PCMA's 2026 list of operating insurance companies confirmed six rows, corrected three from composite to general because their licences carry no life branch, and added seven companies including one in run-off. Syria: the Insurance Supervisory Commission's company directory confirmed four rows and added nine, with licence numbers. Yemen: no supervisor publishes a list of licensed insurers that could be retrieved, so the four Yemeni rows are unchanged and unverified, and the market stays partially verified for that reason.
