  • According to Israeli government officials, in a context of increased suicide bombings after September 2000, the "seam zone" plan was drafted with the intent of reducing the ability of terrorists to infiltrate Israel from areas administered by the Palestinian Authority. Part of the route was also planned with the stated goal of providing protection from the same threats to Israeli settlers living in "Judea and Samaria". [1]. As of 2006, it was estimated that about 57,000 Palestinians lived in villages located in enclaves in the seam zone, separated from the rest of the West Bank by the separation barrier. The United Nations estimated that if the series of walls, fences, barbed wire and ditches is completed along its planned route, about a third of West Bank Palestinians will be affected - 274,000 will be located in enclaves in the seam zone and about 400,000 separated from their fields, jobs, schools and hospitals. The Israeli Supreme Court ordered changes to the barrier route to reduce the number of people leaving or affected by the seam zone - according to the court verdict the number now stands at 35,000. In July 2006, Btselem forecast that 8.5 percent of the West Bank (including East Jerusalem) would be situated in the seam zone. This area also contains ninety nine Israeli settlements (including twelve in East Jerusalem) in several densely populated areas near the Green Line - an area that according the Geneva Accord would remain part of Israel as part of a peace agreement and is home to some 381,000 Israelis (192,000 in East Jerusalem).
