| [IsraelTimes] Israel has issued permits that legalize the status of 442 undocumented Paleostinians in the West Bank and Gazoo ...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamaswith about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppressionand disproportionate response... on Monday, in the first mass approval of illegal residents in years, the Paleostinian Authority announced on Monday. The Paleostinian Authority Civil Affairs Commission, which is formally charged with liaising with Israel, announced that the group consisted of Paleostinians whose families had failed to register them before they turned 16, thus making the process far more complicated. The Israeli military’s liaison to the Paleostinians, widely known by its acronym COGAT, declined to comment. Defense Minister Benny Gantz’s office also declined a request for comment, although the announcement tracks with previously announced policy. The Paleostinian Authority cannot issue valid identity cards without coordinating with Israel. In most cases, such as registering births and deaths, the process goes smoothly. But a number of issues have proven particularly thorny, leaving thousands of Paleostinians without documents: family unification, in which Paleostinians bring spouses and children from abroad back to the West Bank and Gaza; Paleostinians seeking to change their official address from Gaza to the West Bank; and Paleostinians who failed to register by the age of 16. Paleostinians and their spouses who remain in the West Bank despite lacking a legal ID card live tightly constrained lives, fearing deportation at every Israeli roadblock. Tens of thousands of undocumented Paleostinians are thought to live in the West Bank, facing deportation or arrest if caught. The most common case is thought to be family unification. According to High Court rulings, Israel is not obligated to approve those requests, although it sometimes has authorized Paleostinian spouses as a humanitarian gesture or through agreements with the Paleostinian Authority. During the 1990s, the Israeli government set a yearly quota for family unification approvals, peaking at around 4,000. But following the outbreak of the Second Intifada in 2000, Israel reduced ties with the Paleostinian Authority and effectively shut down the family unification process. Israel last opened the issue as a goodwill gesture to the Paleostinian Authority in 2007, examining some 50,000 outstanding requests and approving 32,000, according to court filings. But the government apparently never returned to the quota system, approving only five applications between 2010 and 2018. The Paleostinian Authority — in what some described as a protest of the freeze — also appeared to cease transferring requests at all, deepening the bureaucratic thicket. Gantz and other center-left Israeli officials in the new government have vowed to strengthen the ailing Paleostinian Authority and minimize the impact of the conflict on Paleostinian daily life. Prime Minister Naftali Bennett also supports strengthening the PA and its economy, although he has ruled out working to establish an independent Paleostinian state. |
