Nassar: No retreat on longer hours at Al-Karama crossing
Nassar Nassar, Secretary-General of the Coordinating Council for Private Sector Institutions and President of the Palestinian Federation of Industries, confirmed that legal efforts are ongoing to increase the operating hours at the King Hussein Bridge (Allenby Crossing) in order to improve the crossing process for Palestinian travelers. He explained that the issue has reached advanced stages, and that the repeated delays in implementing the understandings related to extending the hours are part of attempts to postpone the resolution, despite the support from both the legal process and the judicial aspect of this request. He also pointed out that the current procedures at the border cause significant hardship for residents and merchants, and that a comparative study between Allenby Crossing and other crossings shows the potential to open the crossing for longer hours if there is political will. Nassar anticipates a development within a few days, as efforts continue through legal channels and engagement with the humanitarian side, aiming to end the delays and achieve tangible improvements in movement across the crossing.
