"Large gaps remain in the southern West Bank. Between Gilo in south Jerusalem and Gush Etzion are tens of kilometers of barrier, work on which was suspended due to two High Court petitions - one filed by residents of Beit Jala, the other by villagers from Batir, Husan and Nahalin. As a result access to Jerusalem from the direction of Bethlehem is relatively easy - for commuters and terrorists both."AH.
Israel has always maintained that if it weren`t for Palestinian terrorist attacks, then there would not have been any need for a security barrier in the first place."JN
No Jeff,Israel has always let people think the barrier was complete and that is why so called terrorism had stopped.
With 40% uncompleted me thinks there is a gap, (pun intended) in that statement |
