Cocaine

Legal status: Controlled in the State of Palestine — in the Hamas-administered Gaza Strip serious drug trafficking is capital-eligible (death sentences imposed and carried out), while in the West Bank the Palestinian Authority applies a different framework with an execution moratorium; the precise governing instrument and article are left to confirmation against the current law; the maximum penalty is death in the Gaza Strip for the gravest drug-trafficking offences

Codeine

Legal status: Codeine is a controlled narcotic - medically dispensed in the West Bank under Palestinian Authority (Jordanian-derived) narcotics law. Capital exposure differs by area: in Gaza, Hamas military orders make drug trafficking capital and executions have occurred, while in West Bank/PA areas there is no death penalty for ordinary opioid medicines. Capital does not attach to therapeutic codeine.
Consequences if caught: In Gaza, aggravated trafficking is death-eligible under military orders; in PA areas codeine is non-capital; unauthorised possession draws imprisonment, while prescribed use is lawful.
If prescribed / medical: Dispensed as a controlled prescription medicine in West Bank/PA areas.
Documentation: Health authority approval is required; the Gaza blockade and division leave no reliable channel - carry full documentation.

Crack Cocaine

Legal status: Crack is the freebase (base) form of cocaine and has no separate legal identity in the State of Palestine: it is controlled AS cocaine under the applicable penal/anti-narcotics law, whose scheduling covers cocaine, its salts and preparations and thus reaches the base/freebase form. In the Gaza Strip serious drug trafficking is capital-eligible, and this carries over to crack whether powder or base; the West Bank applies imprisonment penalties.
Consequences if caught: Trafficking crack (as cocaine) in the Gaza Strip is capital-eligible (death sentences imposed); in the West Bank trafficking and possession draw imprisonment and fines.
If prescribed / medical: Cocaine has no recognised therapeutic use; the crack/freebase base has no medicinal preparation and cannot be prescribed.
Documentation: No prescription documentation exists for crack/freebase cocaine.

Pink Cocaine / Tusi

Legal status: Pink cocaine (tusi) is not scheduled as such; it is a variable mixture (typically ketamine + MDMA) prosecuted through its constituents — MDMA is a controlled substance under the applicable penal law in the State of Palestine, which reaches any preparation containing a controlled substance. Because the blend varies batch to batch, exposure follows the most-severely-controlled component, so an MDMA-containing tusi sample can carry capital exposure in the Hamas-administered Gaza Strip.
Consequences if caught: An MDMA-positive mixture is a serious offence where, in the Gaza Strip, grave drug trafficking is capital-eligible (death sentences have been imposed); in the West Bank the PA framework applies imprisonment.
If prescribed / medical: No lawful supply of the mixture; MDMA has no accepted medical use, and ketamine, where present, is a controlled medicine.
Documentation: Sold as a party powder of unknown makeup; because the blend varies batch to batch, buyers and travellers cannot know whether death-eligible MDMA is present, so legal exposure under the applicable penal law is unknowable at purchase.
