Saturday 11-February-2017

Israeli Occupation Authority (IOA) banned last week 32 Palestinians from travelling abroad via al-Karama crossing the only pathway that connects 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’s travel ban orders were for alleged security reasons. No further information were released.

The statement also pointed out that over 32000 Palestinians were able to travel through the same crossing last week. Palestinian police however arrested 48 “wanted” Palestinians at the crossing.
