An Important Jordan Syria Border Has Reopened After Three Years

The Nassib border crossing between Jordan and Syria has reopened after three years.

The trade and transit route between Turkey and the Gulf and Lebanon and the Gulf was closed to civilians and trade in 2015 due to war.

The official reopening on Monday is important for trade in the region. The news is a defining moment for the Syrian government, who retook the area in July. The move will help boost trade in the country and will also impact Lebanon positively, as it has no other land borders currently in operation.
