The opening as it read in 2020

Israeli settlement in the West Bank . Israeli law in the West Bank settlements refers to application of Israeli law to Israeli settlements and Israeli civilians in Area C of the West Bank , a Palestinian territory under military occupation and therefore otherwise subject to military law .1 Some provisions are applied on a personal basis , such that it applies to Israeli residents rather than territory. Application of the laws has created " enclaves " of Israeli law in the Israeli-occupied West Bank , and the term " enclave law " or " enclave-based justice " is used to describe the resulting legal system.2 In parallel, other portions of Israeli law, including Israeli criminal law , are applied to Israelis on a personal basis in the West Bank. Since January 2018, all laws proposed in the Knesset are actively considered vis à vis their application to the settlements.
