Abstract

The judicial system in Palestine arose and developed under the rule of the colonial countries, starting with the Ottoman rule, passing through the British Mandate period, then the Arab rule of Gaza Strip and West Bank, and ending with the Israeli occupation, and the return of the national authority as the beginning of the establishment of an independent state. In comparison to other nations, the legal situation in Palestine is both complicated and unique, owing to the fact that a number of authorities throughout history have ruled Palestine. In Palestine, many legal systems have existed. As a result, numerous legal systems have impacted Palestine's political and legal institutions. The division of Palestine has also resulted in the development of complicated and disparate legal systems in the West Bank, Gaza Strip, Jerusalem, and portions of Palestinian areas captured in 1948. This research provides a series of findings and recommendations for strengthening Palestine's legal and judicial systems by reducing uncertainty by harmonising and modernising laws throughout Palestinian regions.
