Israeli occupation law controls many basic aspects of Palestinian life on the West Bank, such as travel within and exiting and entering the West Bank and access to employment. LEAP offers legal advice on Israeli law and representation in Israeli courts. Without professional legal advice, Palestinians cannot claim their rights in the Israeli agencies that regulate their daily lives.
LEAP provides legal advice and representation in the West Bank for Palestinians on these and similar matters:
Court ordered financial
compensation for Palestinians attacked violently by Israeli settlers
Court ordered prohibitions
against violent Israeli settlers from entering Palestinian areas
Privately managed criminal prosecutions in court against violent
Israeli settlers
Denial and revocation of
entry permits for workers
Denial of travel permits for study at colleges and universities
Denial of travel permits
for professional training
LEAP provides access to other NGOs that advise Palestinians on labor law, collective bargaining, family unification, residency, zoning, licensing, and legal resistance to the confiscation of homes and land.
