The Israeli military announced that all West Bank land crossings will close for Tuesday’s election and Palestinian workers will be barred from settlements, including industrial zones. Most workers will also be barred from settlements starting Sunday, with exceptions for industrial zones and a limited number of other areas.

Palestinian workers face additional restrictions on reaching settlement workplaces from Sunday and a broader shutdown on election day.
