Israel Builds Barrier in the Jordan Valley: War on Fields, Trees and People

Israeli soldiers are erecting a barrier near the border with Jordan, cutting Palestinian farmers off from their fields. The construction is presented as more than a security measure: on the ground, it appears the wall may also help pave the way for the complete settlement of the Jordan Valley.

The barrier is therefore described as part of a broader struggle over land, trees and the people who depend on them. For Palestinian farmers, its immediate effect is to sever access to agricultural areas on the other side.

The report frames the construction as a physical intervention with lasting consequences for the valley, where restrictions on movement and expanding settlement activity intersect. It portrays the wall as an instrument that could reshape both the landscape and who can remain connected to it.
