West Bank Under Full Closure During Sukkot Holiday Until October 3
A comprehensive closure will be imposed on the West Bank, referred to as Judea and Samaria, starting Sunday, September 27, 2026, coinciding with the Sukkot holiday. The closure is set to last until Saturday, October 3, 2026, during which all crossings will be shut. According to official notifications, the decision stems from an assessment of the security situation and directives from political leadership.
The restrictions encompass general transit and the entry of workers into Jewish communities in the West Bank. However, exceptions are in place for industrial zones and specific special cases. The closure officially began on September 27 and is scheduled to end on October 3, with crossings expected to reopen on Sunday, October 4, pending a security assessment.
During the closure period, entry for workers into Jewish settlements will be prohibited, except for those heading to designated industrial zones. Transit to Israel will be permitted only for humanitarian, medical, and exceptional cases, requiring prior approval. The duration of the closure, from September 27 to October 3, may be subject to adjustments based on ongoing security evaluations and directives from relevant authorities.
