Israel and Jordan have agreed to allow private vehicles and buses to cross their border starting next month.
The agreement, which was reached this week by the Israeli-Jordanian Joint Transport Committee in Amman, is part of a broader pact that also covers trade issues.
As a result of the agreement, bus service is scheduled to begin soon on routes linking the Jordanian capital with Tel Aviv and Haifa.
The section of the accord dealing with trade is expected to be signed within three months.
