The Israeli newspaper Haaretz is reporting Israel has begun laying the groundwork to build another highway in the West Bank that will be off limits to Palestinian drivers. The announcement comes just a week after Israel’s highest court ordered the state to lift its ban on Palestinian motorists from Route 443 in the West Bank. Many Palestinians describe the Israel-only highway as apartheid roads. Israeli law professor Barak Medina condemned the construction plans. He said, “Preventing local residents from using a highway simply because they are Palestinians is discrimination that is forbidden…Unfortunately, this case is not that far from apartheid.”
