Jordan has again imposed restrictions on Palestinian entry from the neighboring West Bank. Jordanian government sources said new regulations drafted and distributed over the last month have imposed new limitations on the entry of Palestinians as part of an effort by the Hashemite kingdom to quell unrest. The sources said tens of thousands of Palestinians have moved from the West Bank to Jordan during the Israeli-Palestinian war, which is nearly completing its third year. The new Jordanian rules deny the prospect of an entry visa to most Palestinians. The exceptions are those who apply for a Jordanian visa on humanitarian grounds. The sources said this includes medical treatment or attending a marriage or funeral ceremony in Jordan. The rules drafted by the Interior Ministry have been discussed between Amman and the Palestinian Authority. They stipulate that any Palestinian wishing to receive medical treatment in the kingdom must bring documents from a Jordanian hospital and approved by the Health Ministry.
