This study examined the Phenomenon of Cyber Begging in Palestine and how can Face it Between Law and Society. The study discusses the applicability of the provisions of the Jordanian Penal Code (the valid penal code in the West Bank) regarding the crime of begging, over cyber begging activities. This crime is considered one of the crimes that has developed with the increase and development of social media and internet platforms. Cyber begging has become a prevalent form of exploitation, allowing individuals to reach a wider audience for soliciting money and other benefits. The study utilized descriptive and analytical methodology. The study aims to explore the legal implications and criminal responsibilities associated with cyber begging in the modern technological landscape, shedding light on its negative societal impacts.

The study findings suggest that the current provisions in Article 389 of the Jordanian Penal Code do not encompass cyber means of begging, as this article is limited to physical actions such as wandering, sitting, or driving. This limitation excludes cyber forms of begging, making it challenging to hold individuals accountable for such activities. Additionally, the absence of specific legislation addressing cyber begging in Palestine impedes efforts to combat this emerging form of exploitation.
