Table of Contents
The Palestinian Legal System
The Palestinian legal system borrows components from Muslim customary/common law (those laws associated with Sharia Law) as well as from Ottoman, British, Jordanian, and Egyptian law and Israeli military law. It also includes elements of the contemporary Palestinian Authority’s Basic Law. Finally, the Palestinian community also refers to something called Arabic Rights, which are considered “traditional” and contain elements of the laws mentioned above from different periods.
The aspects of the law that are observed at any time depend on the specific area of Palestine one resides in, whether it be the Israeli-controlled regions of the West Bank and Jerusalem, the Gaza Strip, or the area of the West Bank controlled by the Palestinian Authority.
Each specific region of Palestine is influenced by its history and geography. For example, the Gaza Strip’s legal system is heavily influenced by Egyptian law, while the West Bank’s legal systems are influenced by Jordanian law. If you would like to learn more about the law, human rights, politics, diplomacy, humanitarian aid, and interpersonal relations within Palestine, then this online course is for you!
