AMMAN — The Interior Ministry has allowed Jordanians to travel overland to Syria through the Jaber border crossing without prior approval, provided there are no security-related restrictions.
According to a document obtained by the government-owned Al Mamlaka TV, travel will be permitted exclusively via public transportation, with private vehicles still prohibited.
Interior Minister Mazen Farraya had ordered the closure of the Jaber crossing, opposite Syria’s Nasib crossing, on December 6, 2024, due to escalating security concerns in southern Syria.
On March 23, the ministry, in coordination with relevant authorities, approved the resumption of 24-hour operations at the crossing.
