Palestine – A group of Palestinian merchants from Jenin protested in front of Israel’s Jalama checkpoint between Israel and the occupied West Bank against the tightened Israeli procedures and harassment while crossing the checkpoint.
One of the merchants said that Israeli forces have conducted “arbitrary” searches on the merchants, which have caused delays and damaged good, particularly food that has spoiled due to the extended travel times. Israeli forces have at times questioned the merchants for long hours and have banned them from entering into 48 lands.
Protesters demanded that Israeli authorities loosen restrictions at the checkpoints and to halt the revocation of their permits for arbitrary reasons.
