HCJ 660/08 - 'Amer et al. v. Commander of the Army Forces in the West Bank Respondent's Updating Notice

The State's notice in HaMoked's petition regarding changes of address from the Gaza Strip to the West Bank. The State enclosed a procedure with its notice, pursuant to which Palestinians from Gaza may - ostensibly - change their registered address and relocate to the West Bank. Requests for "settlement" in the West Bank must be transferred, via the Director General of the Palestinian Civilian Affairs Ministry, to the Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories. The criteria for approval comprise of "objective humanitarian cases" which may only be resolved in the West Bank. The procedure is graduated: a permit for six months during the first year followed by a yearly permit for seven years, after which Israel will reconsider the change of address.

Updates

Israel publishes a procedure for processing applications for passage from the Gaza Strip to the West Bank: The new procedure essentially puts an end to the passage of Palestinians from the Gaza Strip to the West Bank. Through the procedure, Israel explicitly declares that Palestinians whose registered address is in Gaza have no right to be or live in the West Bank

HaMoked has filed a petition asking that the authorities update the registered address of a Palestinian woman who lives in the Tulkarem district with her husband. In an earlier petition the court ruled that the petitioner may remain in the West Bank and file an application to change her registered address in the Population Registry: HaMoked is further demanding that the military reveal under which authority it refuses to update the registered address of Palestinians requesting to do so, and refuses to receive applications for changes of addresses from the Palestinian side as provided under the Interim Agreement (“the Oslo Accord”)
