  • A street sign says "Wall Street" on the Israel separation wall in Bethlehem. The Israeli West Bank barrier or wall is a separation barrier in the West Bank. Israel calls it a security barrier while Palestinians and many others call it a racial segregation or apartheid wall. At a total length of 708 kilometres (440 miles) upon completion, the border traced by the barrier is more than double the length of the Green Line, with 15% running along it or in Israel, while the remaining 85% cuts at times 18 kilometres (11 miles) deep into the West Bank, isolating about 9.4% of it, leaving an estimated 25,000 Palestinians isolated from the bulk of that territory.

  • A guard tower of the so-called "separation fence" constructed by Israel dwarfs a church building in the West Bank city of Bethlehem. The town where Jesus was born has lost huge tracts of farm land to the towering wall, and residents are restricted from traveling freely to the nearby city of Jerusalem. Israel claims the wall is necessary for security, but most Palestinians believe it is designed to steal land and water from Palestinian communities and to weaken the viability of a future Palestinian state.
