Tightening 🇵🇸 Palestine

Israel's military order rewrites West Bank drug penalties

Military Order No. 558 of 1975 replaced Jordan's Dangerous Drugs Law in the West Bank. It punished possession and trafficking alike with ten years in prison or a 50,000 Israeli lirot fine, or both, and it offered no treatment route for users. The order stayed in force until the PA's 2015 drug law.[1][2]

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