Peretz ordered Director General of the Defense Ministry Kobi Toran to review both portions of the barrier that have already been built as well as planned portions to ensure that their routes are based on security considerations alone. Sources close to Peretz said that it was not out of the question that the Defense Ministry would demand changes to the barrier's route as a result of the investigation, as has already happened in the past.
