Israeli Army Imposes Inclusive Closure on Occupied West Bank
What happened
The Israeli occupation army announced an inclusive closure of the occupied West Bank on October 25, 2026. This closure shut all crossings for the entire day, coinciding with Israel's elections. Restrictions on Palestinian workers' movement had already taken effect on Sunday as part of measures announced ahead of the elections.

Why it matters
The closure restricts movement within the West Bank, which could affect the supply chain and operational costs of organizations providing aid. The measures impact the ability of Palestinian workers to enter and leave the West Bank and the Jordan Valley.
Israeli forces are operating in the occupied West Bank area, including Hebron, amidst the ongoing conflict with Hamas.
