A General Closure in the West Bank and Gaza Strip

In accordance with security assessments, and in light of the murderous terrorist attack last night in Jerusalem, a general closure in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip was decided upon.

As part of the closure, Palestinians will not be allowed to enter or exit Israel.

The cities in the West Bank will be tightly encircled.

Passage will be permitted only in humanitarian cases, in coordination with the Liaison offices.
