The comments are predictable - terrorists, defending from invasion - as if the West Bank is not illegally occupied territory by you know who, with settlers constantly stealing Palestinian land and terrorizing the native population

Rema Hammami, an anthropologist at Birzeit University who has researched checkpoints, calls the current situation unprecedented. “Every single community, village, every single Palestinian city is going to be a separate prison.”

How Israeli Checkpoints Choke Palestinian Life in the Occupied West Bank

A quarter of West Bank parents said their children have never met close relatives who live in other parts of the West Bank. And nearly a third of people under the age of 25 say they’ve never even left their own governorate: a generation being locked in.

How Israeli Checkpoints Choke Palestinian Life in the Occupied West Bank

Across the West Bank, checkpoints have begun to reshape how businesses operate. At Sama Pharmaceuticals, a medicine factory, workers sometimes spend the night to avoid checkpoints, and job descriptions now include a requirement that candidates live in the city where the factory is located.

The toll of the commute has caused some Palestinians living in the West Bank to give up their careers or their studies. More than one in ten people in the West Bank say they’ve moved to other cities or regions because of checkpoints, and 31 percent say they’re considering moving.

The average West Bank commuter–someone who drives several times a week–loses about an hour and a half each week to additional travel time in an effort to avoid checkpoints. Over the course of a year, that amounts to 77 hours lost. For some, the delays are far longer.

According to UN data from December 2025, at least 925 fixed and temporary checkpoints, metal gates, roadblocks, and earth mounds divide the West Bank. This fracturing, which has accelerated since 2023, has torn families apart, stifled the economy, and impeded access to essential services.
