5. However, due to pressure from the extreme right wing in Israel,
Following the outbreak of the Intifada in 2000, more and more Israelis supported complete physical separation from the Palestinians. The majority of the Israeli public assumed that the Separation Wall would follow the Green Line and become the border between Israel and Palestine.
However, due to pressure from
the extreme right wing in Israel,
the route of the Separation Wall
was changed to include Israeli
settlements.

8. Palestinians who live in these small enclaves will be allowed
The planned and suggested path of the Wall will leave some 500,000 Palestinians outside the Wall, but inside the Green Line. In order to prevent these Palestinians from moving freely outside the Wall, a sub-system of smaller enclaves will be constructed outside the main Wall.
Palestinians who live in these
small enclaves will be allowed
in or out of them only
according to the instructions
of the Israeli army.
