Israel is preparing to grant settlers access to a major Palestinian thoroughfare in Ramallah, according to Mondoweiss. The move would introduce checkpoints and gates to one of the West Bank's remaining spaces of unrestricted Palestinian movement and affordable urban development.
The planned access would fundamentally alter conditions on a critical artery for the city, constraining movement and reshaping Ramallah's urban landscape as Israeli settlement expansion continues across the occupied West Bank.
