Despite international outcry (including the UN General Assembly's resolution in 2004 that demanded Israel to tear down the wall segregating Israelis from Arabs), the 150-kilometre barrier remains a testimony to Israel's tenacious defiance to International Law. According to Israeli statistics, nineteen illegal Jewish settlements exist in the Jordan River Valley, all of them located between the Palestinian towns of Jericho and Jiftliq.
Israeli Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, when asked about the plan in a television interview, confirmed its existence but gave no details about exactly when or where it would be built. “At the moment, we are planning the route and when it is ready, it will be brought before the government (for approval),” Sharon said.
The already built segregation wall has encircled tens of thousands of Palestinians in the West Bank with electronic fences and concrete walls. Thousands of dunums of the West Bnak’c most fertile land has already been encroached upon.
“This fence allows Sharon to realize his dreams, to divide up the Palestinian population into small groups, a canonization,” said Dror Etkes of the Israeli group Peace Now.
