Services to the Israeli Population Immigration and Borders Authority

Israel’s Population Registry – the Aviv System

HPE is the sole supplier of Itanium servers for the Israeli Population Immigration and Borders Authority for the operation of the Israeli Population Registry, which contains information on Palestinians living in the occupied Palestinian territory.

Since 2017, HPE has been the sole supplier of Itanium servers for the Israeli Population Immigration and Borders Authority's "Aviv System", the computerization system of the Authority which was established based on Itanium servers manufactured by HPE.

The Israeli Population Registry includes information on Palestinians with Israeli citizenship and non-citizens Palestinian residents of occupied East Jerusalem, Palestinians in the occupied West Bank and Gaza, and Syrians in the occupied Syrian Golan. Through this registry, the Israeli authorities control the permits required for Palestinian workers who work within Israel and in Israeli settlements, as well as permits needed for Palestinians to cross the Green Line for medical needs, family visits, travel abroad, etc., as part of Israel's repressive permit regime. Since the Oslo Accords, the Israeli Civil Administration (ICA) keeps a copy of the Palestinian Population registry from the Palestinian Authority (PA), which includes personal information and addresses of all West Bank and Gaza residents. The registry is constantly updated by the Population and Immigration Authority’s unit in the Israeli Civil Administration (ICA), located in the settlement of Beit El in the occupied West Bank. The data on the Registry is systematically used by Israel for the implementation of discriminatory policies against Palestinians who are eligible for different rights under Israeli control, including discrimination in relation to freedom of movement, voting, family reunification and access to services. The Authority is also in charge of issuing permits for all international visitors to the West Bank.

The system also documents all of the crossings under Israeli control, including the Allenby Bridge Crossing, which is the only access for West Bank Palestinian residents to travel abroad; and previously Erez Checkpoint, which was the only crossing for the movement of people between the besieged Gaza and Israel and the West Bank – both controlled by and subjected to Israeli authorities.
