รับรองเอกสารสำหรับ Palestine — MFA Legalisation Chain (Ramallah + Israeli Overlay)

Oslo Accords 1993–1995 framework แบ่ง West Bank เป็น 3 areas: (a) Area A (18% West Bank population 55% · full PA civil + security · Ramallah/Nablus/Jenin/Tulkarem/Qalqilya/Bethlehem/Jericho/Hebron H1); (b) Area B (22% · PA civil + Israeli security shared · rural West Bank villages); (c) Area C (60% · Israeli full control · settlements + Jewish villages + Jordan Valley + rural Palestinian villages under Israeli permit system). Plus East Jerusalem (annexed Israel 1980 Basic Law · Israeli MoFA jurisdiction · 350k Palestinian residents blue Israeli ID) + Gaza Strip (Israel disengagement 2005 + Hamas takeover 2007 + war 2023–2025). Document jurisdiction logic: (1) Palestinian civil docs (birth/marriage/death) issued in Area A/B by PA MoI → MoFA Ramallah legalisation · Embassy of Palestine Bangkok · Thai MFA — single-track PA; (2) Palestinian civil docs issued in Area C by PA MoI (technically PA authority · but Israeli Civil Administration ICA parallel jurisdiction) → MoFA Ramallah OK + Israeli MoFA Jerusalem cross-verification recommended for third-country acceptance especially receiving country Israel/USA/some EU; (3) East Jerusalem Palestinian residents (blue Israeli ID + Palestinian identity) issue → Israeli MoI + Israeli MoFA Jerusalem Apostille (Israel IS Hague) · alternatively PA MoI Ramallah if applicant chooses political-symbolic route (some third countries won't accept if Israeli MoFA option available); (4) Gaza Palestinian docs (Hamas administration 2007–present) → nominal PA MoI Ramallah but not functional Gaza post-2007 · alternative: Gaza-issued docs via Egyptian intermediary MoFA Cairo (since Rafah crossing Egyptian border) + PA MoFA Ramallah (if returnee has WB access) + third-country recognition varies · war 2023–2025 destroyed civil registry archives partially. NYC pre-audit: destination country recognition policy (Arab League/OIC = PA · Israel/USA = Israeli · Thailand = both dual acceptable · third countries case-by-case) + document issuance location Area A/B/C/EJ/Gaza + applicant residency status + political preference client before choosing chain.
