State of Israel | East of Wall | Palestinians living east of the wall with Jerusalem ID cards will get a much longer and more complicated way to work, schools, health facilities, etc. on the other side of the wall. There may be long waiting lines at the gates. In principle they should have full access to that part of Jerusalem but it remains to be seen how well this function. Because many people in this group are afraid of losing the right to access they may want to move to the other side of the wall. This migration flow has already started and the price of apartments in East Jerusalem has in- creased significantly, according to Israeli sources. As many as 40,000 Palestinians may move. https://www.pcbs.gov.ps/Downloads/book1058.pdf

State of Palestine | East of Wall | For Palestinians living east of the wall without Jerusalem ID cards, their access to the part of the city where most of them work, and where their education and health services are, will be- come very hard. They will not be allowed to enter through the gates in the wall without spe- cial permission, which will probably be very difficult to get. They cannot choose to move to the other side of the wall either, as they do not have permission to live there. https://www.pcbs.gov.ps/Downloads/book1058.pdf

State of Israel | West of Wall | Palestinians living west of the wall with Jerusalem ID cards should not have any problems to access work and services, as long as they keep their ID cards. They should also not have any problems crossing the wall to the east for work, services and to visit family and friends. But in recent years Israeli authorities have tried to revoke the permission of many Palestinians to live in Jerusalem. This policy has apparently been given up but it could be reinstated. There may also be some Palestinians living on the west side of the wall who will want move to the other side for political and other reasons, including a wish to live closer to relatives. https://www.pcbs.gov.ps/Downloads/book1058.pdf

State of Palestine | West of Wall | Palestinians living west of the wall without Jerusalem ID cards will have a very diffi- cult time, since they live there illegally according to Israel and will be expelled as soon as the Israeli authorities discover it. The wall will probably make it easier for the Israeli Government to identify people who live there illegally. Thus, we can expect that most of this group will move to the other side of the wall, voluntarily or involuntarily. https://www.pcbs.gov.ps/Downloads/book1058.pdf
