Abstract

After Six-Day War in 1967, the State of Israel occupied Gaza, the West Bank and East Jerusalem. Following its occupation, a military government that has the power to make legislative changes under maintains order and security in the region is established. However, the authorization of the government of Israel to build Jewish settlements in the Palestinian territory has impacted social and economic status in the region. The hypothesis of this paper is that these changes have not always favored the civilian population because they create a dual legislation: one for residents of the Palestinian region and another one for the resident population in Jewish settlements.
