Khaled said: ‘the purpose of the order is the expansion of Jalama checkpoint which has been carried out over two phases; 2 years ago the Israeli Occupation Army confiscated 8 dunums and now another 3 were captured with the objective of consolidating the racial policies of the occupation’.
It is a step indicating the permanent status of the wall because this checkpoint is considered one of the main gates in the wall.
