Israel to close all West Bank crossings on election day
Original: Vor der Parlamentswahl in Israel verschärft die Armee ihr Vorgehen im Westjordanland. Demnach sollen sämtliche Übergänge
Israel's military has announced it will close all crossings to the West Bank on the day of the country's parliamentary election. The army said the measure is a security step tied to the vote. The closure affects movement between Israel and the Palestinian territory, and it comes as attention on the election is intensifying. Observers are watching how the security measure will affect Palestinians who work or travel across the crossings, and whether further restrictions will follow around polling.
Why now: The timing of sweeping movement restrictions alongside a national election is drawing attention to security policy during the campaign.
