Israel to close Allenby crossing until further notice

Israel says it is closing the Allenby Crossing between Jordan and the West Bank in both directions “until further notice.”

 1news.media reports, citing Times of Isreal, the Israel Airports Authority, which oversees the crossing, says the entry and exit point will be closed as a result of a directive from the political echelon.

Nazmi Muhanna, head of the Palestinian Crossing and Borders Authority, tells the Wafa news agency that Israel informed them the crossing will be closed from tomorrow morning until further notice.
