Human Rights organizations to the High Court of Justice: Stop immediately the expulsion of Palestinians from the West Bank to the Gaza Strip

HaMoked: Center for the Defence of the Individual together with 15 other Israeli and Palestinian human rights organizations, filed a joint petition to the HCJ: Israel must immediately stop the expulsion of Palestinians from the West Bank to the Gaza Strip based on their incorrect registration in a Gaza Strip address.

Unacceptable practice of the military transforms the West Bank into a closed zone which applies only to Palestinians : the military does not enforce the order regulating Israelis' entry to the West Bank, and settlers in their hundreds of thousands live there without the required permits

The Palestinian Supreme Court rules: the Palestinian Civil Affairs Committee must accept Palestinians' notices on change of residence from Gaza to the West Bank in the Palestinian population registry, despite opposition by Israel

Judgment in two general petitions filed by HaMoked: HCJ recommends broadening the criteria for “settlement” in the West Bank by Palestinians from the Gaza Strip and instructs the state to explain why it should not refrain from forcibly removing to Gaza Palestinians who moved to the West Bank before 2005
