Hamas court says women need guardian’s approval to travel – Edict also states that a man could be prevented from traveling by a father or grandfather if it would cause ‚grave harm,‘ but he won’t need to seek prior permission and relatives would have to file lawsuit to prevent traveling | ynetnews
A Hamas-run Islamic court in the Gaza Strip has ruled that women require the permission of a male guardian to travel, further restricting movement in and out of the territory that has been blockaded by Israel and Egypt since the militant group seized power.
The rollback in women’s rights could spark a backlash in Gaza at a time when the Palestinians plan to hold elections later this year. It could also solidify Hamas‘ support among its conservative base at a time when it faces criticism over living conditions in the territory it has ruled since 2007.
