\ud83d\udcf0 New Wall in the vicinity of Jenin and surrounding towns<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u270d\ufe0f By Ali Abu Habla <\/strong>
\nIn a move that reflects a strategic shift in the policies of the occupation, Israel recently began to build a new apartheid wall extending from Tulkarm through Deir Sharaf to the outskirts of Jenin under the pretense of “protecting the settlement belt.” This project is not just a transient security measure but reflects a new pattern of creeping annexation aimed at reshaping Palestinian geography and demography in the northern West Bank.<\/strong>
\n\ud83d\uded1 The Wall Project: A Security Tactic or an Annexation Strategy?<\/strong>
\n\u25fe Stated Objectives:<\/strong>
\nIsrael promotes the project as a security necessity aimed at preventing the infiltration of Palestinian militants from camps in the northern West Bank, such as Nour Shams and Jenin, in light of the escalation of clashes with the Israeli army over the past months.<\/strong>
\n\u25fe Actual objectives:<\/strong>
\nBut an analysis of the route and political timing of the wall reveals deeper dimensions:<\/strong>
\n\u200eExpanding settlements and linking them geographically, effectively annexing them to Israel and placing them behind a fortified security wall.\u200e<\/strong>
\n\u200eThe isolation of the northern West Bank from its center and south undermines any possibility of geographical contiguity of the Palestinian territories.\u200e<\/strong>
\n\u200eForcing the Palestinian population to voluntarily leave as a result of the expected living and economic blockade.\u200e<\/strong>
\n\ud83d\uddfa\ufe0f\u200e Geographical and human dimension\u200e<\/strong>
\n\u25fe\u200e Target Areas:\u200e<\/strong>
\n\u200eThe project passes through fertile agricultural areas west of Tulkarm, besieging Palestinian villages and towns that relied on these lands as their primary source of livelihood.\u200e<\/strong>
\n\u25fe\u200e Implications:\u200e<\/strong>
\n\u200ePotential forced displacement of tens of thousands of Palestinians who will find themselves trapped between the wall and military checkpoints.\u200e<\/strong>
\n\u200eEconomic collapse in the northern West Bank as a result of the loss of access to land and markets.\u200e<\/strong>
\n\u200eDismembering Palestinian society by isolating cities from others and tightening control over their entrances and exits.\u200e<\/strong>
\n\u200eI\u200e<\/strong>
\n\u2696\ufe0f\u200e The wall in the balance of international law\u200e<\/strong>
\n\u200eInternational Court of Justice (2004) recognized that the construction of the wall inside the Occupied Palestinian Territory violated international law and demanded that Israel dismantle it and compensate those affected.\u200e<\/strong>
\n\u200eFourth Geneva Convention: It prohibits forced displacement and prevents an occupying power from confiscating land or altering the demography of the occupied area.\u200e<\/strong>
\n\u200eSecurity Council resolution 2334 (2016) stressed the illegality of settlements and the walls that protect them, considering them an obstacle to peace.\u200e<\/strong>
\n\ud83d\udee1\ufe0f\u200e Potential confrontation paths\u200e<\/strong>
\n\u2705\u200e At the international level:\u200e<\/strong>
\n\u200eInternational Court of Justice (ICJ): Submit a new advisory opinion on the new wall.\u200e<\/strong>
\n\u200eInternational Criminal Court (ICC): File complaints about annexations and forced displacement.\u200e<\/strong>
\n\u200eDiplomatic mobility: Pressure on EU countries to impose economic sanctions on companies involved in the project.\u200e<\/strong>
\n\u2705\u200e At the local level:\u200e<\/strong>
\n\u200eFiling petitions before the Israeli judiciary, as happened previously in the Beit Surk case in 2004, to force the occupation to stop its flagrant violation of international laws and conventions \u200e<\/strong>
\n\u200eActivating Palestinian civil society for legal and media documentation and creating a state of international pressure.\u200e<\/strong>
\n\ud83d\udc41\ufe0f\u200e Read the strategy\u200e<\/strong>
\n\u200eThe new wall is inseparable from a series of Israeli projects aimed at tightening control over Palestinian land and imposing a fait accompli that redefines the borders of a potential Palestinian state. If completed, it will turn cities such as Tulkarm and Jenin into isolated cantons, heralding a new wave of displacement and humanitarian unrest.\u200e<\/strong>
\n\u2712\ufe0f\u200e Israel’s plan to build the new wall in the northern West Bank represents a direct threat to Palestinian existence and the two-state solution, bringing to the fore a new old question: How to confront Israel’s policy of “creeping annexation” on the ground?\u200e<\/strong>
\n\u200eThe answer lies in a comprehensive approach that combines international law, widespread activism, and political and diplomatic pressure to force Israel to halt the implementation of this project before it becomes a reality that is difficult to change<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
