a.Palestinian statehood dates from 1923
2. Palestine statehood began at a specific point in time—1923. When the Ottoman Turkish Empire was dismembered after World War I, its Arab territories, including Palestine, were established as states. The 1923 Peace Treaty of Lausannewas key in this process. It was the instrument whereby Turkey’s Arab territories were relinquished in World War I’s aftermath. Article 16 specified that Turkey’s rights in these territories were renounced, and that their future would be resolved by the parties concerned. 2 By 1923, Palestine, Syria, and Iraq had been formed and their borders defined. 3.The Peace Treaty of Lausanne referred to these territories as states in three separate provisions:
Activists protest in front of the Israeli military prison holding Hiba Al-Labadi, who was detained on August 20th at the Allenby crossing point while she was traveling with her mother to the West Bank. Under administrative detention law, Israeli authorities can hold Palestinians without charge or trial based on "secret information"

BLUF: This is another one of the Pro-Palestinian propaganda efforts using an "Appeal to Ignorance" to spread misinformation.
This propaganda effort makes use of a fallacy (ad ignorantiam) → an argument that implies that something is true (it is an "Apartheid Wall") because it has not been proved not to be something else.
It is very important to clarify some terminology. If you are going to make a legal claim that a crime has been committed (Apartheid) then it is important to understand what the legal definition and the elements of the offense are. Otherwise, it is like claiming the sky is green, with no reference as to what green means (the color between blue and yellow); → light with a fundamental wavelength of ≈ 495–570 nm.

"The crime of apartheid" means inhumane acts of a character similar to those referred to in paragraph 1, committed in the context of an institutionalized regime of systematic oppression and domination by one racial group over any other racial group or groups and committed with the intention of maintaining that regime;" See: Article 7(2h) • Crimes Against Humanity • Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court.
Elements of Crimes
Article 7 (1j) Crime Against Humanity of Apartheid
Elements1. The perpetrator committed an inhumane act against one or more persons.2. Such act was an act referred to in article 7, paragraph 1, of the Statute, or was an act of a character similar to any of those acts.3. The perpetrator was aware of the factual circumstances that established the character of the act.4. The conduct was committed in the context of an institutionalized regime of systematic oppression and domination by one racial group over any other racial group or groups.5. The perpetrator intended to maintain such regime by that conduct.6. The conduct was committed as part of a widespread or systematic attack directed against a civilian population.7. The perpetrator knew that the conduct was part of or intended the conduct to be part of a widespread or systematic attack directed against a civilian population.
delimitation ‘It is common practice to distinguish delimitation and demarcation of a boundary. The former denotes description of the alignment in a treaty or other written source, or by means of a line marked on a map or chart. Demarcation denotes the means by which the described alignment is noted, or evidenced, on the ground, by means of cairns of stones, concrete pillars, beacons of various kinds, cleared roads in scrub, and so on. The principle of the distinction is clear enough, but the usage of the draftsman of the particular international agreement or political spokesman may not be consistent. In fact the terms are sometimes used to mean the same thing’: Brownlie, African Boundaries. A Legal and Diplomatic Encyclopaedia ( 1979 ), 4.
territorial integrity. N. The principle that a state’s borders are sacrosanct; the idea in international law that one state or nation should not aid actions that could reform the borders of another state or nation.

(COMMENT)
This is one of those cases where the Security Barrier (a dependent territorial threshold) protects the integrity of one sovereignty from the ravages and dangers presented by a different entity. This Security Barrier is no different from the border security implemented between the US and Canada or the US and Mexico. It is enforced under the rights granted any country. (See; Article 2(4) UN Charter)
The Hostile Arab Palestinians have been attempting to gain sympathetic support for their attempt to infiltrate Israel since 1949. They might have gained the Right of Return if they had not pledged to create a wave of violence to remove the Israelis; a political position that they still hold today. THUS, a protective barrier was necessary to establish and prevent further hostile activity.
