Can community policing in Gaza replace tribal judiciary?
The Gaza-based interior minister has formed the community police unit to solve disputes among individuals and families in a bid to ease the process in regular courts.
GAZA CITY, Gaza Strip — The newly established community police affiliated with the Ministry of Interior in the Gaza Strip started its work in early June.
The move comes after a decision issued by the General Administration of the Palestinian Civil Police to establish the community police unit on May 16, with the aim to reduce the load of civil affairs presented to courts, which usually take long years to be settled due to the low number of judges in the Gaza Strip.
