Israeli occupation authorities (IOA) banned 20 Palestinians last week from traveling abroad through al-Karama crossing the only pathway for Palestinians in the West Bank to the outside world through Jordan.
Palestinian police in Ramallah said in a press statement on Saturday that the IOA ban of travel orders were issued for alleged and unreleased security reasons.
The police statement pointed out that 44000 passengers however traveled via the same crossing last week in both directions. 43 “criminally wanted” Palestinians were arrested the police added.
