Border controllers from the Population and Immigration Authority have unexpectedly shut down the Allenby border crossing on Sunday. As a result of the surprise strike, the crossing was completely closed, halting all passenger traffic. The Israel Airports Authority issued a statement expressing its protest over the sudden strike by the Border Control Workers’ Union of the Population and Immigration Authority, which violated agreements made with them last Friday and unilaterally closed the Allenby crossing without any prior notice.
