Where is Israel planning to build the wall?
Israel will build the wall east of Israel’s 1967 border in Occupied Palestinian Territory, thereby de facto annexing more Palestinian land, in particular with respect to Occupied East Jerusalem. Not only will Israel build a wall, Israel has also begun erecting militarily-enforced electrified fences around Palestinian controlled “Areas A” (consisting of approximately 17.2% of the West Bank divided into 13 separate non-contiguous ghettos). The wall, the fences and the new movement restrictions for Palestinians [3] effectively cage Palestinians into Israeli-created ghettos or Bantustans. Israel is not building the wall on the 1967 border. Israeli governments led by both Labor and Likud have repeatedly stated that Israel will not return to the pre-1967 border.
