All of the occupied West Bank's land crossings will be closed to Palestinians on Israel's election day on Tuesday, an Israeli military spokesperson said on Saturday, in a post on X. The spokesperson added that Palestinian workers will also be barred from entering all Israeli settlements in the territory between Sunday and Tuesday, cutting off a major source of revenue for many Palestinians. According to Haaretz, the Israeli military imposed similar restrictions on Palestinians in the occupied territory during previous elections, barring them from entering Israel on election day and the day after the vote.
