Sneh: World Bank report slamming Israel is one-sided - Haaretz - Israel News: "The World Bank report on restrictions imposed by Israel on the freedom of movement of Palestinians is erroneous and imbalanced, said Deputy Defense Minister Ephraim Sneh Wednesday, responding to news of the report published in Haaretz on Tuesday.
Sneh told Haaretz that the report uses mistaken data. He said there are 300 non-fixed barriers in the West Bank at present, and 25 fixed roadblocks, compared to the figure of 546 mentioned in the World Bank report.
'The World Bank report uses data of the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs [OCHA], which is inclined to count every opening in the separation fence, checkpoints on the Green Line, and every two rocks on the road as roadblocks in the West Bank,' Sneh complained. "
