West Bank, Gaza crossings to be closed for Palestinians on election day

[IsraelTimes] Closure will be in effect from midnight Tuesday to midnight Wednesday, except for humanitarian-related cases, as is customary for holidays.

The military said the closure would begin at 12:01 a.m. Tuesday and last for 24 hours, pending a situational assessment.

Election day is a paid vacation day for workers in Israel. Most polls open at 7 a.m. and close at 10 p.m.

The closure will affect the tens of thousands of Paleostinians who legally work in Israel every day, most of them in construction and maintenance.

Israeli citizens will still be permitted to move between the West Bank and Israel.
