One inspection station, with two soldiers inside, is open. People enter and leave from both sides, there is no queue and passage through the checkpoint is fast. We don't see any Palestinian who is not allowed to pass.

Only rarely is a Palestinian asked to put his hand on the finger-print machine.

Also on the Palestinian side there is no pressure, both from what is reported to us and also from the sounds we hear from there.

A refreshing curiosity :tourists who want to enter Bethlehem have to wait until Palestinians coming from there leave.
