Israeli occupation authorities in January
prevented 87 Palestinians from travelling through Al-Karama Crossing
(Allenby) in to Jordan, Quds Press reported yesterday.
In a statement, Palestinian police said
that the 87 Palestinians were prevented from travel on security grounds
by the Israeli occupation, no further details were given.
Some 200,000 travellers used the terminal last month, they added.
Additionally, 206 Palestinians were arrested at the crossing last week as they tried to leave or enter the occupied West Bank.
Israel
opened the crossing following its occupation of the West Bank and
Jerusalem in 1967 to control the movement of Palestinians in and out of
the occupied territories. It has become the sole gateway for
Palestinians to the outside world through Amman international airport.
