HaMoked's response to the State's notice in HaMoked's petition to instruct the Prime Minister to revoke decision 3598 prohibiting family unification of Israeli's with residents of the Gaza Strip. HaMoked claims that the exceptions defined by the State only partially comply with the Court's instructions, and contradict the tenor of statements made in the hearing. HaMoked claims that the State ignores the fact that since the year 2000, it has barred those living in the West Bank, but registered as residents of Gaza, from changing their address. Additionally, the time period set by the State for the second exception does not prevent the Government's decision from causing retroactive harm, since the decision - adopted over a year later - expands the application of clause 3D to the law and prohibits discretion in relation to these requests.
