Israel announced Sunday that all land crossings with the West Bank will remain closed on the day of next week's election, Al-Monitor reported. The measure restricts movement between the occupied territory and Israel during voting.
The closure affects all commercial and civilian transit points at a time when tens of thousands of Palestinians typically cross daily for work and commerce.
