How is the Wall related to the Israeli settlement policy?
The Wall is the continuation of the Zionist/Israeli expansionist agenda of stealing Palestinian land and forcibly expelling residentsthe Walls path equates to the de facto annexation of nearly 50% of the West Bank and almost all of the Israeli settlements. Around Jerusalem the Wall is completing the Zionist/Israeli project of Greater Jerusalem, formally endorsed by the Knesset in 1997, which aims at judaizing and annexing East Jerusalem into a Jewish metropolitan area. As explained in Question 2, the Wall closes Jerusalem off to the north and south of the West Bank, but remains open to the east for the still expanding settlement Maale Adumim. Upon the Walls completion, this will amount to the confiscation of 90% of the land in the Jerusalem district. The path of the Wall has been openly dictated by intentions to include settlements within the Israeli government and society. In March 2003, the Yesha Council of settlers worked with the Israeli government to extend the Walls path further
