Under the original plan, Qalqilyah was faced with being enclosed by the barrier from both the east and the west, making it an enclave.

However, a short visit to the area between Ariel and Qalqilyah in the West Bank shows that by comparison, what the IDF has been doing in Gaza is mere child's play.
According to IDF charts, the area of Qalqilyah - including territory inside the Tapuah Junction in the east to the Green Line in the west, and from Kedumim in the north to Beit Aryeh in the south - is the area in the territories most densely populated by Israelis, excluding the outskirts of Jerusalem.
These are broader than mere topographic alterations and involve "biting" strategic positions out of Area A that is under full PA control, in case of total conflagration in the territories.

For two years now I've been reading the reports of the International Solidarity Movement about the demonstrations against the Wall that have been going on in that area, all the while listening to people babble on about how if the Palestinians had been non-violent they would have a country right now.

Jerusalem: Israel said it would probably hand over the West Bank cities of Qalqilyah and Jericho to the Palestinian Authority (PA) this week after refusing to part with four cities yesterday.
Israel was to transfer Qalqiliyah and Jericho to Palestinian authority yesterday but the handover was temporarily shelved after the sides disagreed on control of ''wanted'' militants in the cities and Palestinians demanded Israel remove army roadblocks around the cities to be transferred.
Following an agreement on Qalqilyah and Jericho, Israel and the PA are expected to engage in more talks regarding IDF withdrawals from the West Bank cities of Ramallah and Tul Karm.
