Do Cook Islands passport holders need a visa for Palestine?

Visa required

Yes. Cook Islands passport holders need to obtain a visa in advance before travelling to Palestine.

A visa must be obtained in advance, typically from an embassy or consulate, before travel.

Entry to the State of Palestine is controlled by Israel

The Palestinian Authority does not operate its own international border crossings. Visitors reach the West Bank through Israel: Ben Gurion Airport near Tel Aviv, or the Allenby Bridge (King Hussein Bridge) crossing from Jordan. Israeli entry rules therefore decide who can visit, and the requirements below are Israel’s.

The Gaza Strip is entered separately, through the Rafah crossing with Egypt or the Erez crossing with Israel, and access there is tightly restricted and frequently closed. Anyone planning to visit Gaza should check with the Egyptian and Israeli authorities directly.

The requirement above is Israel’s, for a Cook Islands passport. Cook Islands → Israel in full.
