Every afternoon, Palestinian commuters are blocked by military gates while Israeli settlers drive freely on separate roads in the West Bank, according to Middle East Eye. The arrangement creates a dual system of movement that separates the two populations across the territory's road network.
The restrictions funnel Palestinians through checkpoints and barriers while maintaining open passages for Israeli settlers, limiting Palestinian freedom of movement and access to employment, services, and communities across the West Bank.
