Jericho Duty Free Shop planned
The Palestinian Authority is planning to open a duty-free shop in Jericho as President Mahmoud Abbas has approved the project. The project is subject to the Palestinian Authority cabinet approval but the profits will
support the president's fund for students in refugee camps in Lebanon
and underprivileged areas.
The duty free shop will be set up at the Palestinian Authority
arrivals and departures hall at the Allenby Bridge crossing servicing over 1.7 million people per annum between the
West Bank and Jordan.
Most West Bank residents must travel via the Allenby Bridge to Amman's airport to travel internationally as there is no airport in the West Bank and Israel forbids most Palestinians from using Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv.
