The Separation Barrier. B'Tselem, update 11 nov 2017
"In keeping with the same goal that governed the drawing of the city’s boundaries in 1967 – to annex as much land and as few Palestinians as possible – the route deviates from Jerusalem’s municipal boundaries in five areas: The barrier cuts off two areas which lie within the municipal boundaries of Jerusalem – the area of Shu’fat Refugee Camp and the area of Kafr ‘Aqab – which are currently home to some 140,000 Palestinians. In three areas, the barrier extends beyond the municipal boundaries, de facto annexing undeveloped land, settlements and their environs to Jerusalem."
Two Years after the ICJ's Decision on the Separation Barrier. B'Tselem, 9 juli 2006.
"The ICJ held that, despite Israel 's contention that security considerations alone were taken into account in setting the route, there is a suspicion that the barrier will establish "completed facts" that will lead to Israel 's de facto annexation of the seam zone, in violation of the right of the Palestinian people to self-determination. ... the main consideration in setting the route along twelve sections of the barrier was the desire to place west of the barrier lands that are intended for settlement expansion."
