The Palestinian means were cut off in the West Bank with Israel only an international crossing

Israel closed the only crossing between the West Bank occupied by the Israeli and neighboring Jordan, which stopped more than two million Palestinians from reaching the outside world.

The Israeli Airports Authority, which supervises the ANPEB Bridge crossing, said it would be closed indefinitely from Wednesday morning “in the direction of the political leadership.” It did not provide a reason.

Many Palestinians were cut off in the West Bank, who could not go on planned flights abroad. Those who are outside were unable to travel to the house.

It comes after days Two Israeli military personnel were shot Near the crossing by the Jordanian militant, who was killed at the scene.

It was briefly closed after the accident, but it has been reopened since then.

The crossing – also known as the King Hussein Bridge – is located in the middle of the road between Amman and Jerusalem and is the only official crossing point between the West Bank and Jordan. It is also the only entry point to the West Bank that does not pass through Israel.

Most Palestinians in the West Bank are not allowed to travel through Israeli airports or other Israeli border crossings, which means that the bridge is a basic link to the outside world.

“A dangerous step” means “imprisoning” people in the West Bank and “depriving them of the only corridor.”

“You are talking about the disruption of the relationship between hundreds of thousands of families that are usually associated with Jordan,” he said.

He added: “Thousands of people who stumble in Jordan have no resources to go and pay the price of hotels. They cannot stay abroad. There are mothers who live with their children in the West Bank who need to return.”

Jordan is home to more than millions of registered Palestinian refugees, while more than half of its population over 11 meters of Palestinian origin. It has maintained security, trade and diplomatic relations with Israel since the peace treaty in 1994 – but it is an audio critic of Israel’s actions towards the Palestinians.

Maxim Jiacan, 23, a medical student from Bethlehem, told the BBC that he was unable to travel abroad to an optional key in his medical studies.

“I have one month rotation in Germany for cardiac surgery,” he said. “It was a great opportunity for me and my future individuals, my medical future.”

He says: “My plane on Saturday and I was planning to go to Amman, Jordan today,” he says. “So he is miserable.”

The Allenby Bridge is a major commercial road for goods and medical supplies to enter the West Bank. The Israeli authorities say that about 9 % of the humanitarian aid sent by the truck to Gaza is going through.

The Palestinians fear that its closure for an unspecified period is part of an Israeli response to the movements announced by the United Kingdom, France, Australia and Canada this week to recognize the state of Palestine.

The Israeli government was described as “a reward for terrorism”. The extremist ministers called on Israel to explicitly annexing the West Bank in response.

Since the Hamas -led attack on southern Israel, which has killed about 1,200 people and has witnessed 251 hostages, which led to the war in Gaza, Israel has greatly tightened its control on the West Bank.

It has introduced hundreds of new checkpoints across the region, and launched a wide -ranging Judaism The settlement of the settlementAnd it was implemented Main military operations Against the Palestinian resistance groups. Attacks Israeli settlers Against the Palestinians also increased dramatically.

“It explains to you that the global community has failed significantly to deter Israel from expanding its repressive policies,” says Bragotti. “Israel will not be restricted unless there are serious punitive actions.”

The Alnabi Bridge was named after the British General Edmund Allenby, who defeated the Ottoman Empire to control Palestine in 1917. It was built the following year.

Israel took control of its side from the bridge since the six days of the 1967 war, when Israel defeated many Arab countries, and in the past it temporarily closed it during religious holidays or for security reasons.
