Right-wing activists from the Tzav 9 movement block the road to prevent humanitarian aid from reaching the Gaza Strip, April 25, 2024. (Tzav 9)
Far-right protesters have been blocking the Allenby Crossing between the West Bank and Jordan for over three and a half hours to prevent its use for transferring humanitarian aid from the Hashemite kingdom to the Gaza Strip.
The protesters have been preventing Israeli vehicles from entering Jordan in order to escort the humanitarian aid trucks.
Israeli authorities are working to clear the protesters off the road with limited success.
Such protests have continued unabated, despite the escalating humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
The far-right activists behind them argue that the aid is going to Hamas.
