Palestinian hardship persists at Al-Karama crossing
The article discusses the decision by the Israeli High Court of Justice to oblige the Israeli Airport Authority to improve procedures at the Allenby (King Hussein) Crossing, including extending operating hours and employing additional staff, in order to reduce the suffering of Palestinians during crossing, especially the elderly, patients, and children. Although the new measures are welcomed, the problem remains due to the complexity of procedures and inspection mechanisms, which lead to long waits and travel hardships, adversely affecting the lives of travelers and the tourism sector. It is worth noting that this crossing is the only gateway for Palestinians in the West Bank to exit through Jordan. It experiences annual tension due to unsuitable crossing conditions, with Palestinian demands ongoing for improved operational conditions and guaranteed freedom of movement with dignity.
