The Israeli West Bank barrier or wall is a separation barrier in the West Bank. Israel calls it a security barrier while Palestinians and many others call it a racial segregation or apartheid wall. At a total length of 708 kilometres (440 miles) upon completion, the border traced by the barrier is more than double the length of the Green Line, with 15% running along it or in Israel, while the remaining 85% cuts at times 18 kilometres (11 miles) deep into the West Bank, isolating about 9.4% of it, leaving an estimated 25,000 Palestinians isolated from the bulk of that territory.
