Jordan, Syria say key border crossing to reopen Monday
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleAMMAN, Jordan — The main border crossing between Jordan and war-torn Syria is to reopen on Monday for the first time in three years, Jordanian authorities say.
The Jaber crossing, known as Nassib on the Syrian side, was a key route for Middle East trade before Amman closed it in 2015 after the post was overrun by rebels.
The reopening, which Damascus confirms on Sunday, comes after Syrian government troops retook their side of the crossing in July under a deal with rebel fighters.
