On the western side of the Green Line lies its sister city, Baka Al Gharbia (west), an Israeli Arab town. Baka Al Sharkiya is about 4,200 dunams and is home to more than 4,200 residents. The town was considered to be a prime example for cross border trading and social relations until the Apartheid wall was erected. Baka Al Sharkia is located on the western mountain aquifer - the most important aquifer between the Jordan River and the Mediterranean.
