The gateway to the Naharayim enclave was closed in the afternoon and no longer passable for Israeli citizens and tourists.This move is part of the final stage of the Israel-Jordan peace agreement, signed in 1994, which led to the establishment of a “peace island” that became Naharayim. In October 2018, Jordan announced their intention to cancel the 25-year renewable lease of Naharayim, which, as of Saturday, is now a part of Jordanian territory.
