Israel to Close Allenby Crossing Indefinitely

Israel is closing the Allenby Crossing, which is the only way to get between the Israeli-occupied West Bank and Jordan.

This closure starts on Wednesday and will last until further notice.

The exact reason for the closure hasn't been announced, and both passenger and freight traffic will be halted.

The Allenby Crossing is the main way to transport goods between Jordan and the West Bank.

The Israeli Airports Authority manages the crossing.

After a recent incident at the crossing, it had briefly reopened for passengers.
