About this deal
The Gaza Strip and the West Bank are governed by different penal codes. There is no consensus as to whether Gaza still follows the 1936 British Mandate Criminal Code Ordinance, [55] [56] [57] [58] with provisions which punish homosexual conduct with prison sentences ranging from 10 to 14 years depending on the offense.
