The Wall (apartheid wall or separation barrier)

The Wall, often referred to as the apartheid wall or separation barrier, is a series of fences and concrete walls built by Israel, beginning in 2002. Its primary purpose is to separate Israeli citizens from Palestinians in the West Bank, aiming to prevent violence and attacks. However, it has been a source of significant controversy, as many Palestinians view it as a land grab that restricts their movement and access to resources. Critics argue it exacerbates tensions, while supporters believe it enhances security. The Wall represents the complex and contentious nature of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
