Israeli authorities are set to close the Allenby Bridge Crossing in the West Bank indefinitely, according to Palestinian and Jordanian officials. The decision comes amid escalating tensions following recent Israeli military operations in Gaza City, which have resulted in over a dozen Palestinian casualties. The closure of the crossing has raised concerns about the impact on cross-border movement and humanitarian aid.
The Allenby Bridge Crossing is a critical entry point for Palestinians seeking to cross into Jordan, a key corridor for both people and goods. Its closure could disrupt the flow of essential supplies and hinder diplomatic efforts. Palestinian officials have expressed their frustration, emphasizing the need for immediate access to the crossing to facilitate movement and support for those affected by the recent violence in Gaza.
Meanwhile, the ongoing conflict has intensified with more than a dozen Palestinians killed in Israel’s latest assault on Gaza City. The situation continues to draw international attention, with calls for a ceasefire and humanitarian intervention. The closure of the West Bank crossing has added another layer of complexity to the already strained regional situation, raising questions about the long-term implications for stability and security in the area.
