An American Palestinian tourist told us that he went through Erez checkpoint and the checking of his papers took 8 (!!) hours... Soldiers were blocking passage to Ramallah at the northern end for Israelis, only Palestinians were allowed to go through (a new order?) We tried calling around with no luck. The soldiers (armored division) were very hostile, especially a humanitarian. Very few pedestrians, a lot of cars, especially trucks, on both sides of the checkpoint.E-Ram: Many BPs. 5 detained Palestinians were standing in a line facing the wall. They were detained there for about an hour. Here too, the soldiers were very hostile and just wanted us to leave the place.
