Media
reports in Israel have reported that the army is planning to build
walls around Palestinians towns and villages on the pretext that it will
stop stones being thrown at illegal Jewish settlers.
“The
army will build 9 metre high walls in the areas of Beit Ummar,
Al-Arroub, Gush Etzion, and the areas surrounding Highway 60, south of
the West Bank,” claimed Channel 2 TV.
In
response, Mustafa Barghouti, the Secretary-General of the Palestinian
National Initiative, told Anadolu, “The Israeli army’s decision to build
walls around important and vital areas in the southern part of the West
Bank aims to control large Palestinian areas for settlers. It also aims
to isolate the areas from each other in order to prevent any chance to
establish a Palestinian state.”
Such
walls, added Barghouti, are in addition to the 676 military checkpoints
in the occupied West Bank as part of the Israeli plan to divide the
territory and control all of its vital areas.
