The office of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu confirmed that the latter has decided to reopen the Karameh crossing, which connects the West Bank with Jordan, for the movement of goods, two months after its closure, according to Army Radio.
The radio station indicated that Netanyahu approved the reopening of the crossing for the entry of goods and issued instructions to prepare to receive goods and trucks. The crossing is expected to reopen as soon as possible, and may start operating as of next Sunday.
The radio station pointed out that the crossing will be opened for the movement of goods and commodities that are not subject to customs inspection, while emphasizing the maintenance of an appropriate security level.
The Israeli army closed the crossing following a shooting that took place on September 18, which resulted in the death of two Israelis. In the week that followed, Israel reopened the crossing to travelers, while it remained closed to the movement of goods.
