Other law 🇵🇸 Palestine

Occupation leaves the two drug laws in place

Israel occupied the West Bank and Gaza in June 1967. The Jordanian and Egyptian drug laws stayed in force, and Israel amended the West Bank regime by military order rather than replacing it with Israeli law. That arrangement lasted until the Palestinian Authority legislated in 2015.[1][2]

Listed for context. No score change is recorded for Palestine here.
