Wa3leikoum Asalam wr wb,

Aukht my situation was the polar opposite of yours. I used to own a perfume store near al-Aqsa in occupied East Jerusalem. I lived in both East Jerusalem (Jabel Zeitoune-Atur) & in Dufa al Gharabiya (West Bank-Dahia alBareed,Azzaria & Azayiam). I used to hold citizenship in Jerusalem that you will not be able to get & in those days that allowed me the free access to go between al-Quds and Dufa but we were forbidden to go to Ghaza after the 2nd intifada. The 3 month visa is what most foreigners would try to obtain or a 6 month visa if you are married to a Palestinian 48 0r 67. I do not recommend Palestine as a place for you to settle at the moment because foreigners or even Palis that grew up there are looked at by some nutters as suspicious.(not all but a few is all you need).

I think you will be much more comfortable living in Jordan & going to Aqsa for vists at this point. The info I just posted was until 2005 when we left I don't know if the laws or border regulations are the same. As per the Gujaratis in the UK I am not sure who you contact but I am sure some Gujaratis here know about the trips they have to Palestine. I will ask my wife if she has some contact info for any of them insh'Allah.

FIamanillah
Assalamu Aleykum,

JazakALLAH Khair brother for taking time to answer me in details.
I myself spent quite a lot of time in Jerusalam and Ramallah, and used to frequently crossed the Qalandya check point in both directions, before it became the new "Atarot", and afterwards as well.
I have a few more questions if you don't mind!I was wondering if it's easy for european citizens to settle in Jordan?Can we easily get any kind of resident status?Is it possible to find a work for my husband over there, or is it better to be self sufficient (for exemple having an online business...)?
Where in Jordan would you advise us to settle?Is religious education easily available there for children?

I'll be happy to get any infos about the Gujaratis groups if your wife has any.

Hope I didn't ask too many questions.

JazakALLAH Khair again for your precious informations.May ALLAH SWT reward you for helping us.Ameen!
