Table of Contents
The Palestinian Legal System
The Palestinian legal system borrows components from Muslim customary/common law (those laws associated with Sharia Law), Ottoman, British, Jordanian, Egyptian, and Israeli military law, and elements of the contemporary Palestinian Authority’s Basic Law. Finally, the Palestinian community also refers to Arabic Rights, which are considered “traditional” and contain aspects of the laws mentioned earlier 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 both by its history and geography. For example, the Gaza Strip’s legal system is heavily influenced by Egyptian law, while the West Bank finds its legal systems influenced by Jordanian law. If you want to learn more about the law, human rights, politics, diplomacy, humanitarian aid, and interpersonal relations within Palestine, then this online course is for you!
