The research seeks to find a solution for the problem faced by a large portion of Palestinians who do not have Palestinian residency nor IDs. It examines the possibility of overcoming the Oslo agreement restrictions that granted Israel the authority to issue new IDs in the West Bank and Gaza, which deprives many Palestinians from their right to a national ID. This research targets all the Palestinians in Palestine and the diaspora. It projects the benefits of new technologies and approaches to tackle the problem by utilizing and tailoring the idea of electronic residency. The research shows that some government transactions include beneficiaries that have no national IDs. The land sector was chosen to elaborate the problem and to demonstrate the application of the solution using e-citizenship. It was shown through the provided examples that the concept of e-citizenship can solve the problem of land ownership and administration services in Palestine. Thus, it can provide a solution for the research problem. In addition, the notion of e-citizenship can be applied in other sectors and can improve the reach of e-government and electronic services in Palestine.
