They state that Palestinian institutions in Abu Dis will be prevented from providing services to residents in the East Jerusalem suburbs, and that a 10-minute walk has become a 3-hour drive in order to reach a gate, to go (if allowed) through a crowded military checkpoint, and drive back to the destination on the other side.
De gør gældende at palæstinensiske institutioner i Abu Dis vil blive forhindret i at yde services til beboere fra Østjerusalems forstæder, og at 10 minutters gang til fods, er blevet til en 3 timers køretur for at nå porten, for at gå igennem (hvis det tillades) et overfyldt militært checkpoint og for derpå at køre tilbage til destinationen på den anden side.
