Beginning Sunday and continuing through Monday, Palestinian citizens are prohibited from entering Israeli settlements and certain other areas. Exceptions are limited to industrial zones and a specific list of approved sites. These enhanced security measures will affect Judea, Samaria, and the Jordan Valley. Following recommendations from security agencies, political leadership approved a complete ban on entry and exit for Palestinian workers, even from industrial zones. The directive also includes the closure of all land crossings during the election period, scheduled for Tuesday, October 27, 2026. The stated goal of these restrictions is to minimize security risks and maintain order nationwide. Normal operations at checkpoints and industrial zones are expected to resume immediately after the elections and once the situation stabilizes.
