Israel will reopen the only crossing between the Israeli-occupied West Bank and Jordan to passenger traffic only, starting Friday morning, the Israeli Airports Authority said on Thursday.

Many have been unable to leave the territory since the Allenby Bridge crossing was shut indefinitely on Wednesday.

Israel’s sudden decision to indefinitely close the sole land crossing giving over 3 million Palestinians in the occupied West Bank access to international travel, has intensified fears of more restrictions amid Israel’s threats of retaliation against Western recognition of a Palestinian state.

Extremist Israeli settler violence against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank has recently been its highest since the U.N. started recording. Over the last two years, several Americans have allegedly been among those killed there.

President Trump said Thursday he will not let Israel annex the West Bank, an idea that has circulated among some hardliners in Benjamin Netanyahu's government.
