Israel will close the Allenby Crossing, the sole gateway between the Israeli-occupied West Bank and Jordan, starting on Wednesday until further notice, the Palestinian General Authority for Borders and Crossings said on Tuesday. The office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the Israel Airports Authority, which manages the crossing, did not immediately respond during a public holiday in Israel. Israel Airports Authority said on Monday that the crossing had reopened for passenger traffic, days after a Jordanian truck driver opened fire there, killing two Israeli soldiers. The Allenby Crossing is the main route for transporting commercial goods between Jordan and the West Bank. Violence in the West Bank has also surged alongside the Gaza war, which began after Hamas attacked Israel on October 7, 2023.
