Jordan announced that it will reopen the Jaber Border Crossing on the Syrian border as of this morning. 

Jordanian Minister of Industry, Trade and Supply Yarub Al-Qudah stated in a statement to the official Jordanian news agency PETRA that trucks will be allowed to cross from the Jaber Border Crossing into Syria starting this morning.

Al-Qudah noted that the decision to allow trucks to enter Syrian territory will help facilitate the flow of commercial goods and cargo movement between Jordan and Syria.

Minister Al-Qudah expressed that he will visit the border crossing and the Syrian-Jordanian Joint Free Zone tomorrow to review the progress of work, procedures, and regulations regarding the process of commercial exchange between the two countries.

Jordanian Minister of Interior Mazen Al-Farrayeh had announced on December 6 that the Jaber Border Crossing between the two countries was closed due to the security situation in southern Syria.
