Since its occupation in 1967, Israel hastened to isolate the Holy City from its Palestinian surroundings in order to facilitate its Judaization. Occupied Jerusalem is surrounded by a separation wall about 142 kilometers long, which includes 11 main Israeli checkpoints, unlike many temporary ones.
They are described as roads of pain and a scene for killing, arresting, and humiliating Palestinians, according to a report by media personality Nasiba Musa. There are 15 settlements in the city of Jerusalem called “ring settlements,” the most prominent of which are Maale Adumim, Gilo, Givat Zv, Ramot, Atarot, Harot, Homa, and Abu Ghneim.
