Personal documents issued by Israel to Palestinians from the West Bank and the Gaza Strip

 

According to the Palestine Information Office in Ottawa, Palestinians living in the West Bank and Gaza Strip can obtain from Israeli authorities two documents: a Travel Document valid for one year, which allows travel to any non-Arab country and has to be requested again after it expires (non-renewable), and a Work Permit for working inside Israel, which does not allow for residence in Israel. According to the source, obtaining either document is a process which can take months.

 Please find attached a copy of Country Reports on Human Rights Practices for 1988, (Washington: U.S. Department of State, 1989), pp. 1383-1384, which deal with travel and personal documents under the section "Freedom of movement within the country, foreign travel, emigration and repatriation".
