Israel to impose closure on Palestinian territories on election day
JERUSALEM (AA) – The Israeli army will impose a closure on the Palestinian territories on Tuesday as voters cast ballot in the legislative election.
A military statement said all border crossings between Israel, the West Bank and the Gaza Strip will be closed during election day.
The 24-hour closure begins at 00:01 a.m. local time and is expected to last until 11:59 p.m.
The Israeli army said the border crossings would reopen “subject to a situational assessment.”
All entry permits obtained by Palestinian workers are suspended during the closure.
Tuesday’s legislative election will be the 5th in Israel in less than four years.
