Al Jazeera (Arabic) writes about the hardship of Palestinian Arabs who work in Israel who are forced to not work during the upcoming Jewish holidays this month.
Israel closes the crossings to the territories during Israeli holidays.
Of course, Egypt closes its crossing to Gaza on Egyptian holidays, but no one seems overly concerned about that.
Specialist in Israeli affairs, Ismat Mansour, describes the closures, which are carried out under the pretext of Jewish holidays, as a ritual of restricting Palestinians and disturbing their lives on security grounds, although the situation today is closer to calm....The problem with the Jewish holidays - according to Mansour - is that there are many of them, and the closures may extend for long days, as happens on the Passover holiday, in which the closure extends for a weekIn addition to this, the national holidays, especially the Independence Day, are considered a history of the catastrophe for the Palestinian people
