	Israeli Gaza Strip barrier - Definition, explanation
		The Israeli Gaza Strip barrier is a separation barrier along the armistice line of the 1948 Arab-Israeli War between the Gaza Strip and Israel.
		The barrier is one of several constructed by various governments in a variety of locations to prevent the unauthorized movement of people across the barrier.
		The Gaza barrier is less controversial than the Israeli West Bank barrier, as it traces the actual border with Gaza, whereas the West Bank Wall delves significantly outside of the 1949 armistice lines, Israel's internationally recognized frontier.

	Essential Background: Overview of human rights issues in Israel/Occupied Palestinian Territories (Human Rights Watch, ...
		The Israeli authorities continue a policy of closure, imposing severe and frequently arbitrary restrictions on freedom of movement in the West Bank, Gaza Strip, and East Jerusalem, contributing to a serious humanitarian crisis marked by extreme poverty, unemployment, and food insecurity.
		These were most intense and extensive in the Gaza Strip, and were often carried out in a manner that failed to demonstrate that the attackers had used all feasible measures to avoid or minimize harm to civilians and their property.
		Israeli restrictions on freedom of movement in the West Bank and Gaza Strip are so extensive as to constitute collective punishment, a serious violation of international humanitarian law.

	Israeli West Bank barrier (Site not responding. Last check: )
		Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak, prior to the Camp David 2000 Summit with Yasser Arafat, vowed to build a separation barrier, stating that it is "essential to the Palestinian nation in order to foster its national identity and independence without being dependent on the State of Israel".
		In particular, Israeli cabinet members said modifications would be made to reduce the number of checkpoints Palestinians had to cross, and especially to reduce Palestinian hardship in areas such as Qalqilya where the barrier goes very near, and in some cases nearly encircles, populated areas.
		Israeli Public opinion has been very strongly in favor of the barrier, partly in the hope that it will improve Security and partly in the belief (denied by the government) that the barrier marks the eventual border of a Palestinian state.

		Then came the 1967 War in which the Israelis occupied the Arab populated West Bank and Gaza Strip and established Jewish settlements throughout the area.More recently, that piece of land was divided in a most complicated way after the Oslo agreement.
		The West Bank barrier now under construction follows the old Green Line but generally runs inside it and in several places extends in what are called "fingers" far into the Palestinian areas to embrace the larger Jewish settlements.
		The Israelis would probably request the United States to intercede on their behalf if the EU should take economic measures with real teeth in order to persuade Israel to halt construction of the fence or to change its route.

	Islam Online- News Section (Site not responding. Last check: )
		GAZA, July 29, 2005 (IslamOnline.net and News Agencies) – Israel is mulling a three-layer-deep barrier of fences and walls to ring the Gaza Strip after its military pullout, as plans were drawn up by the occupation army for a massive ground offensive in the impoverished area ahead of next month's pullout.
		The Israeli Army is planning to add two new 60 km (37 miles) fences parallel to the border fence surrounding the Gaza Strip as well as putting up seven-meter (23-foot)-high concrete walls in several places, a senior Israeli official was quoted as saying by Reuters Friday, July 29.
		Mofaz is concerned that a lengthy stay of the Israeli army in the two "security zones" would cause a great deal of friction with the Palestinian residents in the areas and cause the Palestinian Authority's remaining hold on Gaza to collapse.

	TrekLens \| The Wall Photo
		The Israeli West Bank barrier is a physical barrier constructed by Israel consisting of a network of fences with vehicle-barrier trenches surrounded by an on average 60 meters wide exclusion area (90%) and up to 8 meters high concrete walls (10%).
		Pro-settler opponents claim that the barrier is a sly attempt to artificially create a border that excludes the settlers, creating "facts on the ground" that justify the mass dismantlement of hundreds of settlements and displacement of over 100,000 Jews from the land they claim as their biblical homeland.
		Israeli's most commonly refer to the barrier as the "separation fence" (גדר ההפרדה, gader ha'hafrada or geder ha'hafrada) and "security fence" or "anti-terrorist fence", with "seam zone" referring to the land between the fence and the 1949 armistice lines.
