A general closure will be imposed in Judea and Samaria, in accordance with the IDF's recommendation, during the Sukkot holiday and intermediate days. Defense Minister Israel Katz stated in a media announcement that he instructed the IDF to impose the closure, and that under the directive, entry of Palestinian workers to settlements in Judea and Samaria will not be permitted – except for essential workers – and exceptional permits will not be approved. It should be noted that a similar closure is imposed in the area during all Tishrei holidays, and that entry of non-essential Palestinian workers has been prohibited since October 7.
