Hamad al-Harazin, a Palestinian legislator, was prevented from reaching Ramallah by Israeli forces, according to Ma'an Wire. The circumstances of the restriction and al-Harazin's intended purpose in the city were not immediately detailed.
Al-Harazin responded to the incident with a statement following the denial of access. The blockage represents a continuation of Israeli movement restrictions affecting Palestinian officials and civilians across the occupied West Bank.
