HCJ 660/08 - 'Amer et al. v. Military Commander in the West Bank Notice on behalf of the Respondents
Respondents' statement prior to the consolidated hearing on HaMoked's petitions, regarding passage between the West Bank and Gaza Strip, and corresponding changes of residential address. The Court instructed the state to institute a procedure for processing requests for change of address, yet the State reiterates its claims that the Military Commander holds exclusive authority to grant permits for "settlement" in the West Bank, and that since the start of the current intifada these requests are granted only in exceptional humanitarian cases. The State's position is that the petitioners' requests do not constitute exceptional cases.
