Palestinian Asylum

Your Voice. Your Case. Your Right to Asylum.

Overview

This page is built for Palestinians who fear returning because of war, occupation, political repression, settler violence, or persecution by state and non-state actors. Our role is to turn your story into a legally grounded asylum claim supported by country conditions, testimony, and strategy.

Who We Help

People from Gaza, the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and refugee camps who face real danger if returned.

What We Build

Detailed affidavits, country-condition records, and evidence plans tied to the actual legal grounds for asylum.

Why It Matters

Palestinian claims often require context, nuance, and careful framing. Generic preparation is not enough.

Current Risk Brief

Gaza: war, mass destruction, and civilian targeting

For many Gazans, the claim is not abstract. It is tied to the destruction of homes and neighborhoods, the targeting of civilians and infrastructure, the denial of basic necessities, and a credible fear of death, torture, or arbitrary detention if returned.

  • Widespread harm to civilians and civilian infrastructure
  • Inability to return safely to a destroyed home or area
  • Fear of death, torture, detention, or forced deprivation
  • Imputed political opinion based on identity or origin

Nationality and statelessness matter

Many Palestinians are treated as stateless, but that does not prevent asylum eligibility. The legal task is to clearly explain where you lived, who harmed you, why protection was unavailable, and why return is unsafe.

PS

Whether you were born in Gaza, the West Bank, East Jerusalem, Lebanon, Jordan, or elsewhere in the region, your claim can still be framed coherently under U.S. asylum law.

How Palestinian Claims Are Built

Palestinian asylum claims often arise from different sources of persecution. The strongest cases connect your personal facts to a protected legal ground, then support that narrative with testimony, affidavits, and country-condition evidence.

Ground 01

Israeli authorities or settlers

Claims may involve detention, torture, home demolitions, settler attacks, daily harassment, or punishment tied to speech, protest, or identity.

  • Military detention, beatings, or torture
  • Settler violence without meaningful protection
  • Displacement, demolition, or targeted harassment
  • Political speech or protest-based targeting
Ground 02

Palestinian Authority repression

Some cases center on detention, threats, or punishment by the PA because of activism, speech, family ties, or imputed political affiliation.

  • Opposition politics or criticism of corruption
  • Detention or abuse for activism or speech
  • Targeting tied to faction, family, or exposure
Ground 03

Hamas or other groups in Gaza

In some cases the danger comes from armed groups, internal repression, or accusations that create a real risk of future persecution.

  • Political detention or torture
  • Targeting of minorities or vulnerable groups
  • Accusations of collaboration or militia-related threats

FAQs

  • Who can qualify for asylum?

    To win asylum, you must show that you cannot safely return, that you suffered or fear persecution, and that the harm is tied to a protected ground such as political opinion, nationality, religion, or membership in a particular social group.

    • Past persecution or a credible future risk
    • Harm tied to a legally protected ground
    • Lack of meaningful protection from authorities
  • Do non-government actors count?

    Yes. Asylum can still apply when the danger comes from settlers, militias, or other groups if the authorities cannot or will not protect you.

  • What evidence helps?

    Strong cases often include a detailed affidavit, consistent testimony, country reports, medical records, photographs, affidavits, and any documents that support your timeline and fear.

  • How do we start?

    We start with a confidential consultation, review your timeline, identify the strongest legal theory, and map the evidence needed before filing.
