Palestinian Authority passport

Palestinian Authority passports (jawaz safr) are passports issued since April 1995 by the Palestinian Authority to Palestinian residents of the Palestinian territories for the purpose of international travel.
The Palestinian Authority passport is available to anyone on production of a birth certificate showing that they were born in Palestine. What constitutes "Palestine" for this purpose is not clear. In practice only residents of areas under the Palestinian Authority jurisdiction can apply. Whether Palestinians born outside Palestine could apply for the passport is also not clear.^[1]
However, the passport holder is subject to additional restrictions imposed by the Israeli government.^[1] For example, Palestinians with passports from other countries are required by Israel to exit and enter the Palestinian territories through either Ben Gurion International Airport or an approved land crossing, with a Palestinian passport. Israel asserts that the requirement is permitted under the Interim Agreement.^[2] The United States regards the Palestinian Authority as not controlling its borders, with all persons entering Palestinian Authority controlled areas being required to obtain permission from Israel.^[3]
