Israeli West Bank barrier

The Israeli West Bank barrier is a security fence built by Israel to prevent attacks from militants within the West Bank. It consists of fences, walls, and electronic monitoring systems stretching around parts of the territory. While aimed at enhancing security, the barrier also affects Palestinian movement, economy, and access to services. Its construction has been controversial, seen by supporters as necessary for safety and by critics as problematic for Palestinian rights and connections. The barrier's route and impact remain contentious, reflecting broader Israeli-Palestinian tensions and conflicting claims over land and security concerns.
