Israel's security establishment has decided to prohibit Palestinian laborers from entering Israel from Sunday until Tuesday, October 27, the day of the elections. This restriction applies to all workers heading to settlements in Judea and Samaria and the Jordan Valley, with exceptions for industrial zones and a few other approved areas. On election day itself, a complete ban on the entry and exit of Palestinian workers will be enforced across all of Judea, Samaria, and the Jordan Valley, including industrial zones. The decision, approved by the political echelon and recommended by the security forces, will involve the closure of all land crossings.
These measures are part of a broader security buildup for the elections, which includes a halt on troop movements in IDF units, increased presence of senior commanders in situation rooms, and other steps to ensure operational readiness. Additionally, several party leaders are receiving enhanced security from the Shin Bet ahead of the election day.
