West Bank Wall

Just in case you are as confused as the New York Times (Israel Expected to Approve Plan for New West Bank Barrier) - the "security fence" is for one purpose only: to create a border.

The wall is to be a fact on the ground that is more lasting, and more salient, than the settlements were - but without the human cost.
