The 100-page report details how Israeli authorities have turned Palestinian freedom of movement from a fundamental human right into a privilege that Israel grants or withholds as it deems fit. However, while some restrictions on movement were originally imposed in response to a specific security threat, today they primarily serve other objectives, among them the creation of a road network that is rapid, convenient and relatively "sterile" of Palestinians for the use of settlers and other Israelis traveling in the West Bank. Israel employs a combination of several measures to implement its regime of restrictions. These include 47 checkpoints inside the West Bank, 455 physical obstructions on roads, and the Separation Barrier, 80 percent of which lies inside the West Bank . On 312 kilometers of main roads in the West Bank , vehicles bearing Palestinian license plates are forbidden or restricted. --MORE www.spa.gov.sa/473376
