Israel plans to start the construction of a military checkpoint between the occupied West Bank and the city of Jerusalem al-Quds. The checkpoint is said to be the largest in the world, with Tel Aviv claiming that it will facilitate the passage of Palestinians. However, Palestinians have slammed the move, saying it’s another attempt by Israel to prevent them from having an independent state.
