Palestinians walk past a section of Israel's separation barrier at the Kalandia checkpoint between Jerusalem and the West Bank town of Ramallah, in this March 9, 2006 photo. The results of Israel's March 28 election could have deep repercussions for the Palestinians, yet most Palestinians are so caught up in their own political maneuverings following Hamas' victory in Jan. 25 parliamentary elections - and in their own daily struggle to survive - that they are paying little attention to the vote next door.
