Abstract
The paper emphasized the conceptual and didactical, rather than the legal or political, need to note the distinction between the West Bank and Gaza Strip when it comes to legal protection and assistance for refugees. He demonstrated how Israel used the pre-1967 geographical division to widen the gap between Palestinians of the West Bank and Gaza Strip through its system of military orders and declarations, giving the specific example of Military Order No. 1650 issued in 2010. The other issue is related to possible legal and political consequences of Israeli withdrawal in 2005 and the Hamas takeover of Gaza Strip in 2007. He concluded that the situation in the Gaza Strip is particularly challenging to the international community, and the need of Palestinian refugees in the Gaza Strip for protection and assistance is pushing UNRWA to reshape its mandate to include providing such protection.
