The aim of protecting FoE is to create an enabling environment for innovation, which balances the needs of governments and other stakeholders around the world based on international human rights instruments and other international legal frameworks. In this paper we explore the reality and the perceptions of FoE on the Internet in Palestine FoE. In this research we studied the Palestinian legal framework of FoE on the Internet in comparison with the International conventions that Palestine State acceded to, the practices of FoE on the Internet in Palestine and the access to the Internet and its infringements in Palestine. This research adopted an exploratory methodology, two methods used to achieve the research objective, first method; a qualitative approach is used in which national and international laws, formal reports and interviewee’s opinion were gathered.
