BYPASS ROAD
 IN THE WEST BANK

Emerging during the Oslo Accords, this term refers to Israeli roads built in the Occupied Palestinian Territories to connect West Bank settlements with each other and with pre-1967 Israeli territory.

 

Bypass roads divide the West Bank into isolated “cantons”, and are built to the detriment of Palestinian agricultural land and development plans. Palestinians are subjected to a variety of restrictions and prohibitions on most bypass roads.
