A Palestinian man stands by one

A Palestinian man stands by one of the gates of the Israeli barrier near the West Bank Jewish settlement of Alfei Menashe September 15, 2005. Israel`s top court ordered the government on Thursday to reroute part of its West Bank barrier to reduce Palestinian hardship, a ruling that could force Israel to remove a section already built on occupied land. The Supreme Court, in a unanimous decision of nine justices, told the government to find a way to reroute a 13-km (8 miles) segment of the barrier already built near the northern West Bank settlement of Alfei Menashe, home to 5,500 settlers.
