Abstract: The subject of this research is the impact of the Israeli West Bank barrier upon the daily lives of Palestinians living in the West Bank of the Gaza Strip. The barrier that Israel began building in 2002, one the one hand strengthened the occupational policy and expropriation of Palestinian property, and on the other helped strengthen Israel’s security. In the everyday life, Palestinians faced not only the problem of crossing from Palestine into Israel, but also moving within the West Bank, which negatively affected the Palestinian economy. This work is based on the principles of analysis, synthesis, validity and objectiveness, while its methodological base consists of comparative analysis and systemic approach, underlined by examination of the object as a complex of interconnected elements. The scientific novelty of this research consists in the very positioning of the problem, in which the author attempts to describe the complexity of the bureaucratic system of Israel for Palestinians, who are forced to adapt to the “pass system”. The work also points out the problems faced by the inhabitants of the “restricted zones”, residing between the barrier and the “Green Line”. The author points out the consequences of the erection of the separation barrier, as well as the protests of Palestinians against the Israeli policy.
