“The mail, which has been stuck in Jordan since 2018 due to the occupation measures, was allowed in and the mail destined to Palestine coming through Queen Alia Airport will be acquired on a regular basis after being obstructed by the occupation authorities for three years,” said Shtayyeh. “The equivalent of 3.5 tons of mail that was stuck due to the occupation measures was brought in.”

In 2018, Israel also allowed in about 10 tons of postal parcels held in Jordan for eight years.
