IDF: Some settlements still off limits to Palestinian workers
Palestinian workers will still not be able to enter some of the Jewish settlements in the West Bank, in the areas of Hebron, Nablus and Ramallah, the army announces.
The IDF declines to detail which specific communities in those areas would still be off-limits.
“In the area of Bethlehem, Palestinian workers will be able to enter all of the Israeli communities with the exception of Tekoa,” an IDF spokesperson says.
The decision will be assessed by the head of the IDF’s West Bank division Brig. Gen. Lior Carmeli tomorrow, the spokesperson says.
