Ramallah (UNA-OIC) – The Israeli occupation authorities ordered a full closure on the occupied Palestinian territories from Tuesday, under the pretext of the Knesset elections, and for the upcoming Passover holiday, which starts on Friday.
Israelis go to the polls tomorrow for the fourth elections in two years to elect a new parliament and government. As a result, Israel decided to restrict the movement of Palestinians and ban them from entering territory under its control throughout Tuesday.
As Israel also marks the week-long Passover holiday starting Friday, another full closure will be imposed on the occupied territories for the duration of the holiday.
