Ramallah, September 23 (Xinhua) — Israel will indefinitely close the only land crossing between the West Bank and Jordan, the Allenby Bridge crossing, known to Palestinians as the "Al-Karama Bridge," starting September 24. The Palestinian Borders Authority announced this on Tuesday.
As the head of the department, Nazmi Mohanna, said in a statement, the Israeli side informed them that the closure order will take effect “from Wednesday, September 24, 2025, until further notice, in both directions.”
This announcement came just a day after Israeli authorities reopened the crossing, which had been closed for four days following an armed attack that left two Israelis dead. According to the Israeli army, the attacker, who was driving a truck carrying humanitarian aid from Jordan, was killed on the spot.
Israel has not officially commented on the latest closure, but Israel Defense Forces Radio reports that this may be Israel's initial reaction to the recent recognition of the State of Palestine by a number of Western countries. –0–
