The Israeli West Bank barrier (or wall,〔 see also: Names) is a separation barrier built by the Israeli government in the West Bank or along the 1949 Armistice Line ("Green Line"). Upon completion, its total length will be about and include on the western side about 9.4% of the West Bank and 23,000 Palestinians. The Israeli government argues that it protects civilians from suicide bombings and other terror attacks that increased significantly during the Second Intifada. Between 2000 and July 2003 (completion of the "first continuous segment"), 73 suicide bombings were carried out from the West Bank. However, from August 2003 to the end of 2006, only 12 attacks were carried out.〔 }}〕 Barrier opponents claim it seeks to annex Palestinian land under the guise of security and undermines peace negotiations by unilaterally establishing new borders. Opponents object to a route that in some places substantially deviates eastward from the Green Line, severely restricts the travel of many Palestinians and impairs their ability to commute to work within the West Bank or to Israel. ==Names== In Hebrew, descriptions include: separation fence (, ''Geder HaHafrada''); separation wall (, ''kHomat HaHafrada'') and security fence (גדר הביטחון, ''Geder HaBitakhon'').〔Robert Zelnick, ''Israel's Unilateralism: Beyond Gaza'', Hoover Press, 2006, (p 30-31 ), ISBN 0817947736, 9780817947736〕〔Fiona de Londras, ''Detention in the 'War on Terror': Can Human Rights Fight Back?'', Cambridge University Press, 2011, (p. 177-178 ), " ISBN 1139500031, 9781139500036〕 In Arabic, it is called wall of apartheid , ''jidar al-fasl al-'unsuri''.
