HCJ 5076/04 Husseini et al. v. Commanding Officer, Southern Command Petition for Order Nisi and Interim Order
HCJ petition by HaMoked and Adalah for the cancellation of the new directive subjecting permits to enter the Gaza Strip for the purpose of visiting spouses and children to an undertaking to remain there for three consecutive months. This directive mainly harms Arab citizens and residents of Israel, since they are the ones who normally marry Palestinian residents of the Gaza Strip. Note that the directive does not apply to Israelis seeking to enter the Gaza Strip to visit settlements and, therefore, constitutes ethnic discrimination amounting to a violation of human dignity.
