Syria reopens Nasib border crossing with Jordan for traffic and trade

Syria has reopened the Nasib border crossing with Jordan for passenger and commercial traffic, following a temporary closure prompted by security concerns and developments near the border after Jordanian airstrikes in Daraa.

The decision highlights the crossing's significance for regional trade and markets, as well as the security challenges facing both countries, from combating smuggling to strengthening coordination between Damascus and Amman.

The Syrian General Directorate of Border Crossings and Customs had announced early last Tuesday the closure of the Nasib border crossing with Jordan due to developments in Daraa province.
