HCJ 6180/08 - Amam et al. v. Commander of the Army Forces in the Occupied Territories Petition for Order Nisi
HaMoked's petition in the matter of a Palestinian, born in Hebron, and his son, who wish to return to their home in the Gaza Strip, where the rest of the family – the mother and a young girl – reside. After over a year in which Israel gave no response to his appeals, the petitioner was informed that his passage would be approved on the condition that he submit a written undertaking never to return to the West Bank. The petitioners claim that, beyond the injury to the petitioners' right to family life and the children's right to be with their parents, Israel is also violating its obligation to consider the West Bank and Gaza Strip a single Palestinian territorial unit, whose residents are entitled to choose their place of residence and move within it as they please.
