On 15 October 2018, the Jordanian and Syrian authorities agreed to reopen the Jaber- Nassib border crossing after a three-year closure—it was controlled by the Syrian opposition—
to restore trade relations between the two countries.
The Syrian regime reopened this route for its political and economic significance. This route, which used to carry billions of dollars of trade for countries throughout the region, can bring the Syrian regime considerable financial returns, which mitigate the consequences of the US embargo on Syria.
