Israel's indefinite closure of the Allenby Crossing, the West Bank's sole land border for international travel, has stranded Palestinians abroad and separated families. The closure, following a deadly attack at the crossing, is feared to be retaliatory against Western recognition of a Palestinian state. Palestinians face difficulties accessing medical care and education, with the closure impacting thousands. The Israeli government hasn't provided an official explanation, fueling concerns about further restrictions and potential annexation plans for the West Bank.
