Allenby Bridge Border Crossing.
Allowed to be crossed by NON Israeli passport holders only.

Technically, it is possible. However, it will leave you with something like 2 hours to see Jerusalem (at best), as the King Hussein/Allenby Bridge crossing closes early. Stay at least one night.

Hi Brian,
Possible - yes; recommended? absolutely not.
Think of what Jerusalem means and represents for a quarter of humanity on earth. Think of all the unique places, so rich in history and meaning.
What will you say to yourself and to whoever asks you “yes, I have also visited Jerusalem, spent almost 3 hours, it was very nice”?
Cheers,
Marius
