Palestinian workers holding an Israeli work permit wait in line to board an Israeli bus designated for Palestinians only after the Eyal checkpoint, near the West Bank city of Qalqiliya, March 4, 2012. The Israeli transportation ministry launched a bus line designated for Palestinians only, running from Eyal checkpoint to Tel Aviv and Kfar Saba, and back to the checkpoint. The line was opened after Israel settlers living in the West Bank complained that Palestinians use Israeli buses that run through the West Bank on their way to and from work inside Israel. The new policy will mainly effect workers returning to the West Bank with Israeli buses, as police will force workers to go off buses when they enter the West Bank.
