It reduced rocket attacks against Israel and led to economic growth for Palestinians. C. It led Israel to sign the Oslo Accords and brought Hamas to power in Gaza. D. It led Israel.

Answer 1

The correct answer is A.

The Israeli West Bank Barrier is a separation barrier in the West Bank. It is considered a security barrier by Israel and a racial segregation and apartheid wall by the Palestinians. The vast majority of the barrier is comprised of an electric fence surrounded by a detection path, patrol road, ditch and barbed wire. It is 440 miles long.

Since the barrier, there was a significant drop in terrorism in the West Bank. It is attributed mainly to the large, constructed segments of the barrier which is an impediment for terrorists. This lowered the motivation of Palestinians militants to engage in terrorism.The number of suicide bombing carried out of the West Bank fell dramatically. Security cooperation between the Israelis and the Palestinian has been heightened and improved ever since.

On the other hand, the barrier broke up Palestinian urban and rural blocks and severed inter-community ties established over generations. This is considered to be a disregard of the needs of the Palestinians and their right to access their farmland.
