(IsraelNN.com) According to Vice Premier Chaim Ramon, the Partition Wall is to be treated as a border already.

"If it were up to me, everything would be allowed within the settlement blocs and nothing would be permitted beyond those [areas]," he said at a Knesset committee meeting according to Haaretz, "Anything inside the fence would be approved and everything outside the fence not only would not be authorized, but I would be content if it were evacuated."

Though the Sharon government pushed through the building of the wall claiming it was to stop suicide bombers, several politicians have admitted its goal is to dictate Israel's final borders, leaving tens of thousand of Jews on the "wrong" side.
