General Director of Jenin Chamber of Commerce (JCC) Ammar Abu Baker was arrested Wednesday evening while passing Karama crossing between Jordan and the Israeli-occupied West Bank.
Local sources told PIC reporter that Abu Baker was planning to travel to China before being stopped and arrested at the border crossing.
Abu Baker from Ya’bad town south of Jenin was elected as head of the JCC only two months ago.
Karama crossing also known as Allenby Bridge is the sole outlet connecting the occupied West Bank with the outside world via Jordan.
