22 orders constitute a flagrant violation of International Humanitarian Law and International Human Rights Law3. The implementation of these two military orders would result in expelling seventy thousand Palestinians from the West Bank, as the target of such a decision are the Palestinians living in Palestine. It also falls within the context of the Israeli policy of ethnic cleansing and forced exile. The scope of the term “infiltrator”, which is used in both orders, has been broadened to the extent that it could apply to any persons living in the West Bank, and so anyone could easily be exiled. Pursuant to military order number (1650), whoever illegally enters the area would serve a seven year term in prison, and whoever enters the area legally but without having a “permit” would serve a three year term in prison as punishment. The military commander can order deportation of whoever this definition applies to, and his order would be executed within 72 hours of issuance or even less. The order of deportation would be treated as an order of detention, and so it constitutes “a legal ground for detainment of the infiltrator pending implementation of deportation order”. Due to such a definition, the order applies to every Palestinian, whether born in the West Bank or whoever entered it legally from the Gaza Strip or from abroad. This means that whoever does not have a permit is an “infiltrator”, and the decision applies to every person living now in the West Bank regardless of their legal status, identity or nationality. Thousands of the Palestinians living in the West Bank could be immediately expelled pursuant to these two new military orders, which as a result, would constitute a blatant contravention of the Fourth Geneva Convention, particularly Article (49), which bans the coercive transit of protected groups or individuals (civilians) or deporting them from their occupied territory. These orders were imposed while the Israeli occupation authorities have been suspending thousands of applications submitted by Palestinians living in the West Bank for reunification with their families. The occupation authorities refuse to grant them legal status. c. The content of the two military orders flagrantly contravenes international standards of human rights and principles of international law. They represent another instrument for the Israeli occupation forces to have control over the demographic shape of occupied Palestine and to bestow legitimacy to the coercive exile of civilian Palestinians. Based on these orders, Israel would be taking illegal 3 It is a blatant infringement of the PNA’s jurisdiction, aimed at shrinking its powers or even cancelling them in contravention of what has been agreed in Taba and Washington in 1994‐1995 in regard to transferring powers to the PNA in areas (A, B). The interim agreement of 1995 (Oslo 2) bestows powers to the PNA, giving it jurisdiction over civil affairs of all persons except Israelis in areas (A,B) of the West Bank. Only the PNA has the jurisdiction to issue identity cards for the citizens in these areas, and not Israel.
