HCJ 2959/06 Ahmidat v. Commander of the Army Forces in the West Bank
In the course of a petition regarding issuing a Palestinian belonging to the "second HCJ population" with a visitor's permit into the Territories, HaMoked clarifies the Respondent's severe mistake and explains the historical background and processes which led to the agreements regarding this population. The Respondent claims that the Petitioner did not prove that her "center of life" was in the Territories, but, contrary to his claims, a "center of life" in the Territories was effectively a criterion for denying entitlement for a permanent permit. Under the military's past policy, only short intermittent visits were allowed and the deportations which ensued from this policy prevented spouses who were not residents of the Occupied Territories from settling in them legally.
