APalestinian Legislative Council was established by the Egyptian government in the Gaza Strip in 1962, which lasted until it was disbanded by the Israeli authorities in 1967. The Council replaced the All-Palestine National Council, disbanded several years earlier.
In 1957, the Basic Law of Gaza established a Palestinian Legislative Council that could pass laws which were given to the High Administrator-General for approval.[1]
This was done as part of the policy of Egyptian president Gamal Abdel Nasser of showing support for the Palestinian cause. The legislative council had 22 elected members in 1962, when elections were held. Nasser proclaimed that it would hold authority over Gaza, but that power was never granted in practice.[2]
