RESTRICTION SUMMARY: APAwire CLIENTS ONLY SHOTLIST: APAwire - APAwire CLIENTS ONLY, Al-Bireh, 11 June 2023. Palestinians take part in a protest to claim reunion, in the West Bank city of Al-Bireh. 0.1 SOUNDBITE (in Arabic) Marwa Abu Hamada, spokeswoman for the reunion movement and changing the address is my right. STORYLINE: Tens of thousands of Palestinian families and spouses are separated across Palestine. In a report, the Israeli NGO Gisha noted, "Israel has followed a 'divide and conquer' policy... and usually participates in population control by promoting, coercing and prohibiting mobility in ways that match its demographic aims." Moreover, various restrictions on the reunification of separated Palestinian families have been enforced by Israel. Resolution 1813, enacted by the Israeli government in 2003, prohibits Palestinians from the West Bank and Gaza Strip from acquiring residential status in Israel or East Jerusalem through marriage, thereby preventing family members from living together if one spouse came from outside the region. In addition, family unification was halted in 2002 and has been frozen due to Israeli authorities' perception that the procedure poses a demographic and security risk. As a result, families with one spouse born in "East Jerusalem" and the other born in the West Bank or Gaza face forced separation as they cannot coexist as one unit, either in the West Bank/Gaza or in "East Jerusalem".
