Israel bans travel of 63 Palestinians via Allenby crossing

Saturday 22-February-2020

The Israeli occupation authority (IOA) prevented last week 63 Palestinian passengers in the West Bank from traveling through Allenby (King Hussein) border crossing with Jordan.

The Palestinian Authority police said on Saturday that those passengers were denied travel by the IOA for unexplained security reasons.

However about 34823 Palestinians and foreign passengers were able to travel through the crossing during the same week the police added.

Allenby crossing also known as al-Karama is a bridge that spans the Jordan River and connects the West Bank with Jordan.

The bridge is the sole designated exit and entry point for West Bank Palestinians traveling in and out of the Israeli occupied territories.
