Salam Fayyad (C), whom Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas appointed prime minister, visits the site of Israel's controversial barrier near the West Bank village of Bilin September 7, 2007. Palestinians in a village at the centre of violent weekly protests against Israel's controversial West Bank barrier won a Supreme Court battle on Tuesday to have it rerouted. Citing hardships facing residents of Bilin, a three-justice panel ordered the Israeli government and military to ensure that a section of the barrier set to cut through the village's farmland should circumvent it instead.
