(MENAFN- Nam News Network) RAMALLAH, Sept 24 (NNN-WAFA) – The Palestinian Crossings and Borders Authority said yesterday that, Israel will indefinitely close the Allenby Bridge, known to Palestinians as the Karama Bridge, the only land crossing between the West Bank and Jordan, starting today.

Nazmi Mohanna, head of the crossings authority, said in a statement that, the Israeli side informed them the closure would take effect“as of Wednesday, Sept 24, 2025, until further notice, in both directions.”

The announcement came just one day after Israeli authorities reopened the crossing, following a four-day closure, triggered by an armed attack that killed two Israelis. The Israeli army said, the assailant, driving a humanitarian aid truck from Jordan, was killed at the scene.

Israel has not officially commented on the latest closure, but Israeli Army Radio reported, it could be an initial response to the recent recognition of the State of Palestine by several Western countries.– NNN-WAFA
