Als er al 140 checkpoints zijn verwijderd, hoeveel zijn er dan nog ever, en hoeveel waren er? Het was duidelijker geweest als men dat erbij zou vermelden. Ook is de vraag wat onder een checkpoint wordt verstaan: is dat een bemande post waar mensen worden gecontroleerd voor ze een stad in of uitgaan, of worden ook onbemande roadblocks daartoe gerekend? In onderstaande tekst lijkt men het begrip 'checkpoint' voor beide zaken te gebruiken. Het is hoe dan ook goed nieuws dat de nieuwe regering het beleid van de oude om checkpoints en roadblocks op te heffen, lijkt voort te zetten.

Removal of Two Roadblocks in the Ramallah Area Yesterday Allows Free Vehicle Movement between the City and its Surrounding Villages
Yesterday evening, May 10th, 2009, two road blocks in the Ramallah area were removed, one located near the village of Ras Karkar and the other near the village of Ein Yabrud. The removal of the Ras Karkar road block allows free movement of vehicles between the city of Ramallah and the villages to its west, while the removal of the Ein Yabrud road block allows for traffic between Ramallah and villages to its east.
The road blocks were removed in accordance with security assessments at IDF Central Command and as part of the relief plan authorized by the Minister of Defense, Mr. Ehud Barak and the IDF Chief of the General Staff, Lt. Gen. Gabi Ashkenazi.
This relief plan includes the opening of a number of central roads and the removal of checkpoints, especially in the areas of Ramallah, Hebron, Nablus, and Tulkarm. These steps improve the overall Palestinian quality of life, allowing for increased freedom of movement. As part of this plan, over 140 checkpoints have been removed thought Judea and Samaria in the last year.
The IDF will continue to act according to decisions made by the political echelon, in accordance with security assessments. These actions are meant to further ease the routine life of the Palestinian population in Judea and Samaria, while continuously fighting terror and maintaining the safety of the citizens of the State of Israel.
