TULKAREM, (PIC)-- The Trade Union in Tulkarem city said 15,000 Palestinians from the northern provinces of the West Bank, including workmen, drivers and traders, are exposed daily to different kind of Israeli maltreatment at Tayeba checkpoint in the city.
Workmen at the crossing
The daily Israeli violations against the workmen and drivers prompted them more than once to stage protests at the checkpoint, secretary of the union Ziyad Ghanem stated.
Ghanem said that the Israeli security company responsible for the checkpoint wages an orgy of violence, harassment and humiliation against those workmen and drivers, and the Tayeba checkpoint is considered the only crossing for them in their northern areas of the West Bank.
He noted that the Israeli occupation authority declared the Tiba checkpoint as the only crossing that should be used for the movement of goods and workmen in the north.
