There’s a guy whose name is Nijam. He’s Palestinian. His house is like in the middle of nowhere, but his house is on the Israeli side [of the Separation Barrier], which is near Giv’on (an Israeli settlement). This guy, in order to get into his house, would call the operations room to have the gate opened for him. He has no control over the gate that opens and closes to his house. He has to call the operations room.
What do you mean?His house is on the Israeli side. His house is fenced in.
Okay. He wasn’t moved from there, the fence was built, so they fenced him in too. Instead of just giving him citizenship, or leaving him be. Nijam Faqia, I think, was his name. So he would call the operations room every morning, say “Hello, this is Nijam, I want to enter my house.” The operations room would call the Border Police officers in the area, and they would open the gate for him. Crazy.
How many times?Once a day, twice a day.
