Evidence-based research on Access to Internet in the West Bank and Gaza.

ReCIPE (2024)

In 2021, MIFTAH launched its digital and public diplomacy plan aiming to widen the outreach scope of global influencing in support of the Palestinian cause. This goes in line with MIFTAH’s mission to engage local and international public opinion and official circles on the Palestinian cause, as a platform for the dissemination of the Palestinian narrative. MIFTAH adopts the flow of information (dissemination of data) as a strategic advocacy tool at the national and international levels, relying on documentation of human rights violations and the analysis of the gendered impact of the Israeli occupation policies and practices on the Palestinian civilians in Occupied Palestine.

MIFTAH works within the framework of human rights mainly International Humanitarian Law, International Covenants of Human Rights, the International Human Rights Law, Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court, Geneva Convention, and the relevant UN resolutions capitalizing on its Consultative Status with the ECOSOC.

Since October 7th, 2023, during the continued Israeli genocide war on Gaza and the escalation of Israeli military raids on refugee camps in the West Bank, settlers' terrorist and violent attacks have targeted Palestinian villages and cities. These Israeli atrocities, war crimes, and violations have been publicly shared on a global level through social media and digital campaigns led mainly by youth, journalists, media producers, influencers, content creators, and human rights defenders in Palestine. These campaigns have been widely spread by global networks, solidarity movements, university students, and celebrities. This global action, geared via digital campaigning and advocacy, has enhanced public opinion to stand in solidarity with the Palestinians' right to self-determination and freedom.

During 2024, MIFTAH is leading actions towards enhancing the civic space through conducting evidence-based research on Access to Internet in the West Bank and Gaza. The research will cover Israeli occupation restrictions and gaps in the internet infrastructure due to discriminatory regulations with focus on violations and restrictions that were widely witnessed after the 7th of October in the West Bank and Gaza Strip. The research will cover Israeli restrictions, destructions, and gaps in the internet infrastructure due to the occupation, with focus on the impact of the genocide war and the military raids on Palestinian digital rights and cyber security, in addition to restriction on access to internet by the PA.

MIFTAH’s aim of the research is to provide evidence that can support: 1) CSOs to advocate for the protection of the  Palestinian digital rights under occupation  through data Protection, Cybersecurity, and information Literacy, 2) addressing needed national policy reform to ensure freedom of expression and access to information, 3) leading advocacy campaign on the international level for the protection of Palestinian human rights defenders and CSOs facing violations of their rights by the Israeli occupation, and 4) engaging in international digital rights fora and debates to highlight the specificities of digital rights witnessed by “global south”

The framing of the research

• Israeli Control Over Palestinian Resources

This section will highlight the control exercised by the Government of Israel over Palestinian resources, with a specific focus on digital infrastructure. The emphasis will be on the situation in Gaza considering the genocide war, as well as the challenges Palestinians face in exercising their digital rights in Jerusalem and marginalized areas like "Area C," which faces the imminent risk of confiscation.

• Restrictions on Civic Space

This section will examine the limitations and restrictions imposed on the civic space within the occupied Palestinian territory by both the Israeli government and the Palestinian Authority. It will explore how these constraints affect freedom of expression, assembly, and association for Palestinians.

• Smear Campaigns Against Human Rights Defenders

This section will investigate the targeted smear campaigns conducted by the Israeli occupation against human rights defenders and CSOs in Palestine. It will detail the methods and impacts of these campaigns on the individuals and organizations involved.

• Limitations of National Legislation

This section will analyze the limitations of national legislation in protecting citizens' digital rights and freedom of expression. It will identify gaps in cyber security laws and procedures, and their implications for Palestinian society.

• International Human Rights Obligations

This section will discuss the international human rights obligations relevant to the Palestinian context, including conventions on human rights, international humanitarian law (IHL), international human rights law (IHRL), and the EU human rights treaty. It will cover issues such as the conflict in Gaza, settler violence and terrorist attacks in the West Bank, military escalation in refugee camps, night raids on cities and villages, the apartheid regime, and the disproportionate impact on Palestinians, including those in Jerusalem.

• Intersectional and Gendered Impact Analysis

This section will provide an intersectional analysis, focusing on the gendered impact of inadequate internet infrastructure on human rights as denied by the Israeli occupation. It will examine how these deficiencies disproportionately affect different groups within Palestinian society, particularly women and marginalized communities.

Methodology:

• Desk review- literature review including political analysis of the Palestinian context in relation to civic space, digital rights and smear campaigning lead by Israel ( the occupation dominant power) and the PA

• Collecting evidences in terms of statistics, figures, and individual cases ( of persons or organizations)
• Reflecting on data analysis and collected data in a matrix highlighting on level of violations and gaps in protection measures to ensure proper exercise of digital rights in occupied Palestine within the specified framing of the research.
• Developing a fact sheet with main findings and results with proposed recommendation at the international level and reforms at the national level.
