The West Bank, up against the wall<\/span><\/u><\/b>
\nFormat: 25 minutes
\nBroadcast on France 24 on March 21, 2026
\nA film by Claire Duhamel and Mohamed Farhat<\/span><\/b><\/p>\n

Since the October 7, 2023 terrorist attacks, Israel has revoked the work permits of nearly 120,000 Palestinian workers. As an economic crisis grips the occupied West Bank, some now try to slip across the separation wall illegally. On the outskirts of Jerusalem, France 24’s reporters filmed these perilous crossings and heard from the people who attempt them.<\/span><\/p>\n

The film follows Sa\u00efd, who lost a leg after being shot during a crossing, and Walid, a trained architect forced to sleep on his building site in Israel. Through their stories, the documentary sheds light on a blind spot of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict: two long-intertwined economies drifting apart for good, and the smugglers who profit in the shadows from trafficking desperate workers.<\/span><\/p>\n
