English term or phrase: \\in the seam between
In an article entitled: \\\\\\\"A Wall as a Weapon\\\\\\\", written by Noam Chomsky on Feb. 23, 2004 for the New York Times newspaper, there is a paragraph (the 7th) that starts like this:\\\\\\\"Palestinians in the seam between the wall and the Green Line will be permitted to apply for the right to live in their own homes;\\\\\\\" THe author questions the construction of the wall in Israel to avoid the Palestinian attacks from the West Bank(Cisjordania). I would like to understand clearly what \\\\\\\"in the seam between...\\\\\\\" means.
