West Bank Blocked: A Political Standoff

Israel's closure of the Allenby Bridge, the only way for Palestinians to leave the West Bank without going through Israel itself, has created a major crisis.

This action prevents many Palestinians from traveling for essential reasons such as medical treatment, education, and family matters.

While Israel cites security concerns, many believe this move is a response to international pressure for Palestinian statehood.

The closure highlights the ongoing conflict and the significant impact it has on ordinary Palestinians' daily lives, sparking widespread criticism.
