55,000 Palestinians to be cut off by J'lem fence
By Amos Harel, Haaretz Correspondent, and Agencies
The government decided Sunday on a
new route for the separation fence
surrounding the Jerusalem area,
which will result in some 55,000
Palestinian residents of East
Jerusalem being cut off from
the rest of the city.
The number includes more
than 3,000 school children,
who will have to pass through
the fence in order to get to
school.
The decision,
which dramatically changes
the demographics of Jerusalem,
was made despite strident
Palestinian objections and
some U.S. misgivings.
The route not only cuts off tens of thousands
of Palestinian residents of the capital,
but also places the largest West Bank
settlement, Ma'aleh Adumim,
with almost 30,000 residents,
on the Jerusalem side.
Jerusalem has about 700,000 residents,
including some 230,000 Palestinians who
carry blue Israeli identity cards that
identify them as permanent residents,
grant them freedom of movement
and make them eligible for
Israel's social services.
The government also set September 1
as the new deadline for completing
the construction of the fence,
which will leave the Shu'afat
refugee camp and the village
of Aqab to the east of the fence.
The government also approved a plan
to address the daily problems for
Jerusalem's Palestinian population
as a result of the new route.
According to the plan,
the Jerusalem municipality will
make arrangements to ease passage
at the fence and to bus students
from one side to the other,
as well as procedures for
administering medical and
humanitarian services to
those in need.
The government will also encourage
East Jerusalem hospitals to open
branches beyond the fence.
Deputy Prime Minister Ehud Olmert
will oversee the implementation of
the plan.
The ministers approved a supplementary
NIS 17 million to the Public Security
Ministry budget as well as NIS 8 million
for the Jerusalem municipality for
providing the new services.
Health Minister Danny Naveh said
that the intention is to create
convenient passage for the stranded
residents and to allow them to receive
health services on both sides of the
fence without interference.
Deputy Prime Minister Ehud Olmert
mentioned the 3,655 school children
who will be on the other side of the fence,
"for whom we will have to provide
daily transportation to their schools."
The cabinet was told that the
Jerusalem fence will include 12
passage gates, and that schools,
post offices and National Insurance
branches will be built on the other
side of the fence to facilitate the
residents who will be on the other
side.
Amir Cheshin,
a former Arab affairs adviser
in the Jerusalem municipality,
said it would be impossible to
implement the government's plan.
"I don't know if I should laugh or cry,"
Cheshin told Israel Radio.
"I don't see thousands and thousands
going through these checkpoints to
go to school."
Minister Without Portfolio Haim Ramon
said the gates and crossings in the
fence must remain open, and be shut
down only in emergency situations.
According to Ramon,
public services on the far
side of the fence must be
brought in line as those
in Israel.
"we want the changes to remain unfelt,"
said Deputy Construction Minister Avraham Ravitz,
"so that leaving tens of thousands
of Palestinians outside the fence will
not cause them to feel isolated and
unable to function."
Senior Palestinian official Saeb Erekat
said Israel must stop building the barrier,
which he said was bringing "catastrophe"
upon the Palestinians.
"The wall is separating between
Palestinians and Palestinians,"
Erekat said.
"We have exerted every possible effort
with the Israelis themselves, the Americans,
the international community but the only
thing that is happening is that the wall
is being completed."

pass through the fence in order to get to school.
Quindi non sono minimamente "cut off".
