Section of the wall in the West Bank
The latest World Bank report shows that Israel has established an
Apartheid System in Palestine and isolated nearly 50 percent of the
West Bank land, Dr. Mustafa Bagrhouthi, Palestinian Minister of
Information said on Wednesday.
The report entitled "The imposed restrictions on the freedom of
Movement in the West Bank� which will be published today shows that
Israeli has created ten cantons in the West Bank, isolated,
geographically and economically. The cantons prevented the local
residents and especially the farmers from reaching 50 percent of their
lands and became exclusive to Israeli settlers who are illegally
residing in the West Bank.
Israel has destroyed the economic system in Palestine and set all the
Palestinian roads under an apartheid system to benefit the illegal
settlements, said Barghouthi.
He added that what has been created can not be treated by measures to
ease the situation in some West Bank areas, it is necessary to remove
the infrastructure of the 530 permanent roadblocks and military
checkpoints and the 600 mobile checkpoints placed in the West Bank.
In addition, Barghouthi pointed out that all the collective punishment
measures and the annexation wall should be removed to end this apartheid.
The Palestinian Minister demanded the international community
following the World Bank report, not only to lift the embargo imposed
on the Palestinian people, but also to impose sanctions against Israel
to force it to dismantle the infrastructure of the Apartheid system it
has created in Palestine.
"What is important also is to hear what the European Union and the
United States would say about the report, which one can only conclude
that who should be punished and boycott is the country that practices
oppression and apartheid, not the Palestinian people who became
victims of this apartheid,� Barghouthi stated.
